custom_dict can take two attributes: origin_regex and origin_valid. Both must be either NULL (in which case they are ignored) or character vectors. When origin is found in attr(custom_dict, "origin_regex"), the origin_regex is flipped TRUE automatically. When origin is not found in attr(custom_dict, "origin_valid"), we exit with an error.
countrycode_factory is a function factory that allows users to create new functions with different default arguments, or with a default dictionary.
Usage examples are given in the README of the functionfactory branch:

This still needs documentation, etc., but I'd be very eager to get feedback on this, if anyone has time to take it for a spin. @cjyetman , maybe?
