Well, we do still need a name for the project.  I'm thinking of just an
internal name to refer to the project, rather than the outward title we'll
give it (that newbies would see).  I just want to be able to unambiguously
refer to "the verbose Dictionary" without having to type that out (or an
equivalent) every time.  

I won't mind whatever name we end up picking, I'd just like a name.
Proposals welcome!

PS:  Exegesis is a modern word and is found in modern dictionaries.  It's
just that my default dictionary is dict.org, which limits itself to public
domain or otherwise unfettered sources, the out-of-copyright 1913 edition of
Webster's being one of these (while still be useful for the largest majority
of words).

PPS: I just searched for "exegesis" in the Forum archives, and a couple
other posters have used it.
