I have just discovered another pickling problem when going backwards from Python 3 to 2. This happens often enough in my testing. I think there is an easy workaround, but I'd like your comments.
The bigdash.py plugin uses the whoosh package if it exists, and whoosh has fallen into the common trap of specifying the latest version for pickling rather than a fixed version, as discussed on this page <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/whoosh/z4LcEup1YEU>. Terry worked around a similar problem in PickleShareDB ctor. The error message there is: Unpickling error - Python 3 data accessed from Python 2? For bigdash.py, the plan is to have LeoFts.__init__ delete the old database in ~/.leo/fts_index and post a similar error message. This will erase history, but I see no real alternative.
