Without having access code, there is no real way to tell how complicated it is. But, it probably isn't that hard allow other dictionaries to be used. Unfortunately, that is only part of the problem.

The bigger issue is making sure that the random dictionary that someone added works and doesn't break anything else. That will probably be a lot more effort. Then there are the support calls for problems this causes. Overall, the costs (development, support, reputation) probably outweigh the benefits.
