'install-lexicon' loads a lexicon for the purpose of filtering out
                  spurious rule conflict warnings.

It would be great if hfst-pair-test could get a similar option too. Now there are languages for which pair-testing passes using Xerox, but not when using Hfst. An option like this would help a lot in narrowing down the possible issues.
