Now I remember why I couldn't fix this. The heirarchy of app classes
is:

XAP_App -> XAP_PlatformApp -> AP_PlatformApp

i.e. there's no AP_App class which is needed to have a
loadSpellDicts() function that can be called from XP code.

Now that the luddites :) are gone, may I please use multiple
inheritance to fix this?
