I think it makes the most sense to remove the memcmp, and do binary search based on actual char values.
yeah. there is wmemcmp, which can be used to speed up one of the cases ('cause wchar_t has different size on windows and GNU/Linux), as i did in my hackfix. yet i am not sure that wmemcmp is really there on windows in all C runtimes (hence HACKfix ;-).
