Maybe we can do some manipulation inside memory - I have not any
knowledges about mmap. With Simple Allocator we can have a dictionary
data as one block. Problems are a pointers, but I believe so can be
replaced by offsets.
Personally I dislike idea some dictionary precompiler - it is next
application for maintaining and maybe not necessary. And still you
need a next application for loading.
p.s. I able to serialise czech dictionary, because it use only simply regexp.
