I think I should elaborate on this.

This patch add logic to create a 2-level string based lookup table to
be used in patch 7. This O(n) string based lookup is inefficient. The
generator has all the information to turn this into a O(1) lookup
using an enum to represent the index into a 1-level index based lookup
table.
