/**
* Returns a list of positive opinion words.
*
* ## Notes
*
* -   This function synchronously reads data from disk for each invocation. Such behavior is intentional and so is the avoidance of `require`. We assume that invocations are infrequent, and we want to avoid the `require` cache. This means that we allow data to be garbage collected and a user is responsible for explicitly caching data.
*
* @throws {Error} unable to read data
* @returns {StringArray} words
*
* @example
* var list = words();
* // returns [ 'a+', 'abound', 'abounds', 'abundance', ... ]
