I would suggest that you offer these suggestions on the issue tracker. A dictionary API suggestion is already in the system. You can indicate your interest by starring it at the link below:

Like the Grp, doing this will bring these suggestions to the attention of the dev team, but they'll also provide a way for them to be tracked that Groups simply doesn't offer. Jeremy R.
