Actually, if one were willing to expend the space, it should not
be too difficult to change TeX's hyphenation dictionary code to
use `nodes' rather than `characters', at which point a \hyphenation{...}
could include `\discretionary's as well as simple character lists.
This could automatically handle words that change spelling when
they are hyphenated.  Of course, for a very large set of such words,
this degenerates into a dictionary approach.
