Description
It would be amazing if this could support dictionaries with variable penalties for hyphenation, like in Hunspell-like dictionaries.
For example, hyph_pl_PL.dic might include entries like:
.nie8ch9że.
where . I believe mean word boundaries (as there might be more generic rulesand digits mean the penalties, thusniechżewith the minimum value of 8 might be hyphenated asnie-ch-żeand 9 asniech-że` only.
One could also implement a weighted approach, with the library trying to find the lowest penalty hyphenation along with the best alignment of the text.

Research direction
No implementation files or tests are named. Start by locating the dictionary parsing and hyphenation entry points, then determine how a Hunspell-like entry such as .nie8ch9że. should represent penalties; done means variable-penalty dictionaries are parsed and produce the requested lowest-penalty hyphenation behavior.
