mthesaur v synonyms

[Hadron]

Does anyone have an opinion on what is better?

The second is based on the first.

The second seems to be "newer" and has a cache so I am going with that
for now.

Does anyone have a patch to enable the command synonyms to show the
word-at-point in the command buffer when I call it using a kbd binding?

(It does assume the word at point but just doesn't show it in the
prompt).
