/** This interfaces gives access to a dictionary entry.

	<P>A dictionary entry can supply a word and its hyhenation
	and indicate if it is a negative word.
	If it is a negative entry it may supply a replacement text to
	be used instead of the entry word.</P>

 	<P>Hyphenation positions are represented by an '=' in the word.
 	If the '=' is the last character of the word this means it should not
 	be hyphenated. If there is no '=' charcter in the word, hyphenation
 	positions will be determined automatically (i.e., from the hyphenator
	service alone).</P>

 	<P>Entries whose words only differ in hyphenation are considered
 	to be equal. Also a '.' at the end of the word will make no
 	difference.</P>
