For the record, I thought some more about my suggestion, and
believe there is a better one.
You don't need to compile your list of program symbols. Just save
the list to as a normal text file. You could use any extension
that does not conflict with the standard extensions. See
add_data_set function for the list of standard extensions. Just
put the line "personal_ws" at the beginning and it will be
interpreted as a Writable dictionary just like your personal
dictionary. You do need to keep your file in the same directory
as your master dictionary.
