/**
 * lg_config_atomspace() - Provide custom configuration for the dict.
 * This can be called, prior to opening the dictionary, to over-ride
 * the config settings in the `storage.dict` file.
 *
 * If `asp` is not null, then it will be used as the AtomSpace to work
 * with; else a private AtomSpace will be used. This AtomSpace will get
 * EvaluationLinks denoting the pairings between LG connectors and the
 * matching AS concept of connectors.
 *
 * If `stnp` is not null, then it will be used as the StorageNode from
 * which dictionary data is fetched.
 *
 * If `asp` is null, but `stnp` is not, then a private atomspace will be
 * used, and `stnp` will be used instead of the configuration in the
 * config file.
 *
 * If `asp` is not null, but `stnp` is null, then it is assumed that all
 * of the dictionary data is already available in the AtomSpace; there
 * will be no fetching of it from storage. The setting in the config
 * file will be ignored.
