Add "raed" for Pan-Hispanic Dictionary of Doubts

Thanks! Doesn't it better fit into es namespace?

Hm, I'm not sure. In general, I think that monolingual dictionaries should be added to the global namespace:

1. Users could then use the keyword directly, without preprending the namespace, e.g. raed instead of es.raed.
2. The search itself does not depend on the user's language, i.e. there will never be entries for en.raed, nl.raed etc. This would only be the case if we add a general dict keyword, and add entries for each country's namespace:
   • .es.dict -> lookup in RAE dictionary
   • .de.dict -> lookup in Duden dictionary
   • .gb.dict -> lookup in Cambridge dictionary
   • .us.dict -> lookup in Merriam Webster
   • etc.

(First: I thought about es (Spanish language namespace), not .es (Spain namespace))

Not necessarily. One could add es to their namespace setting, also with lower priority. E.g. a setting

• o
• es
• de
• .de

would still allow you to use German language shortcuts, but also enable raed, in case it's not overwritten by de or .de.

i.e. there will never be entries for en.raed, nl.raed etc

Not necessarily. There could be some completely other service where the same shortcut would be convenient. Yes, not likely, but think about shorter shortcuts, like db. We've already put that into .de, although there is no o.db.

That way, we have the same policy for shorter and longer shortcuts: If possible, we put them into a namespace.

Sounds convincing? Feel free to object. :)

Well, I guess there are pros and cons ;-) I updated the PR.
