        <pre>consider:
int f(char C) {
  const char *Str = ",/\\:. \n\t\'-";
  for (int i = 0, e = 10; i < e; ++i) {
    if (Str[i] == C)
      return i;
  }
  return -1;
}

this is another way of writing:
int f(char C) {
  switch (C) {
  case ',':
    return 0;
  case '/':
    return 1;
  case '\\':
    return 2;
  case ':'
    return 3;
  case '.':
    return 4;
  case ' ':
    return 5;
  case '\n':
    return 6;
  case '\t':
    return 7;
  case '\'':
    return 8;
  case '-'
    return 9;
  }
  return -1;
}

we should canonicalize the first to the second.  pathalogical switches should
be *lower* back to loops for performance.</pre>
