[Feature Request] Parsing Old Kana Orthography (歴史的仮名遣い) to Modern Kana Orthography (現代仮名遣い) about yomichan HOT 3 OPEN

I'm not a developer of Yomichan, but this is a related question to the developers: how feasible/reasonable would it be to allow users to provide their own deinflect.json, say in the Yomichan options menu? There seems to be a decent chunk of issues / pull requests relating to the deinflector options (including this one), so I feel like having it be customizable would be a good general solution to many of those.

As for me personally, I personally want to remove vs from imperative negative since it can occasionally separate the JMdict entries from the monolingual dictionaries (this is especially common when a word is used as a na-adj instead of a suru verb). However, that's not something I want to impose on all other users, and adding an option for that in particular seems too specific for the problem, so I believe a customizable deflector would be the best option in that case.

I've simply made an account to submit a suggestion; I have no knowledge in regards to coding or computer science. What is a deinflect.json in layman's terms?

It's just a file that defines the inflections that allow conjugated words to be properly parsed by Yomichan. You can see the file here, it should be more or less self explanatory: https://github.com/FooSoft/yomichan/blob/master/ext/data/deinflect.json
