I'm not sure how all this compares to just three byte compares, but with a
only a few kb first level cache in most current x86 processors it might be
even more optimal to just do the comparison in code.
But I think any solution that avoids calling the locale dependent strchr()
function will help here and the details between the table and in-code
variants are probably not measurable.
