DictionaryReference

data class DictionaryReference(val isBundled: Boolean, var filename: String) : Dictionary(source)

References a dictionary by its properties.

Using a reference, each access goes through the cache first, so that outdated instances of a dictionary (i.e. those flushed when clearing the cache) are not used anymore. This ensures that only the latest instance of that dictionary is used, which is important when a dictionary has to be used both before and after clearing a cache.
