That would require a system-to-dictionary API change (to be able to
modify the token under inspection), no?  So it's certainly something
I'd say is too late for 8.3.

One thought that came to mind is that the option name should be just
"Accept" not "AcceptAll".  To me "All" implies that it would accept
*everything* ... including stopwords.
