That's the place where you suggested to keep the original values.  I
thought there were other places, but it's good to know there are none.

But if we find that an installed dictionary is one of those in the
data base of the hard-wired values, we use those values, right?
Because AFAIK Aspell provides only one of the 3 character sets we need
in its dictionaries, the other 2 need to be somehow guessed or
provided by the user.
