Interestingly, at least in some flavors, you can do something similar with file
dictionaries. In IDEAL flavor you can move I-descriptors to some other file,
and reference them via "R" (remote) types. I can't find it documented, but it
did work when I tried it. I-descriptors are 20+ fields long (maybe many more)
and can be quite large, especially if the expression is large. The same
considerations apply when searching for a dictionary item from a query as for a
VOC item. How many of you bother to tune your file dictionaries? (There is
another school of thought that says leaving them with modulo 1 forces the
entire dictionary to be read into memory, leading to more efficient location of
subsequent items. But if that were really the case, don't you think the
default size of the VOC file would be modulo 1 also?)
