API for adding custom words

[mikeb-celtx]

It would be much appreciated if there were a way to add new custom words to the working dictionary. Right now I'm reloading the whole thing, though I saw on another PR that there is a hackaround to add single words using internal members. It seems like this is an obvious candidate for API extension.

What is the PR where it shows the hackaround? Currently trying to get adding single custom words to work in typo js, thanks.

When adding a new word, would you expect to ever be specifying flags for the word, or would it always be just "learn this exact word"?

FWIW, without a proper API, the way to add a word to an existing Typo instance should be:

var newWord = "cromulent";

var typo = new Typo([...]);
...
typo.dictionaryTable[newWord] = null

The command line version of Hunspell only allows simple word lists in personal dictionary files. Perhaps that would be a good place to start, and possibly simpler with no need for flags?

Maybe there could be a public addPersonalDictionary method, that you pass a file name/file data to, and it calls _parseDIC under the hood?
