Description

There needs to be a way to distribute the dictionary files with this library. Embedding them in a var that gets loaded and discarded as part of initialization could be a good option.

Keeping a low memory footprint for just including this library is important, we don't want to undermine the fancy Trie dictionary that was implemented to keep memory impact low.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the dictionary files, the Trie implementation, and the package initialization path mentioned in the issue. Determine how the dictionaries can be distributed with the Go library while being discarded after initialization; done means consumers receive the dictionaries without a significant memory-footprint increase.
