Thus, using the IdentifierTable to intern these strings and then use their pointer identity would be more efficient. Then, you could also represent this using a PointerIntPair. It might be the wrong place for optimization, though.
I tried this, but it didn't really seem to make the code cleaner, and I don't think the memory/disk benefits will be significant, so I backed it out again.

I could replace it with an `enum`. This whole class needs more encapsulation, though, and I'd be inclined to do that all as a separate change.

I think we don't care. This code path is only used when issuing a diagnostic.
