I'm not convinced that using an adapter algorithm won't be just as fast.
Consider your own talks on optimizing the existing dmd lexer. In those talks
you've talked about the evils of additional processing on every byte. That's
what you're talking about here. While it's possible that the inliner and other
optimizer steps might be able to integrate the two phases and remove some
overhead, I'll believe it when I see the resulting assembly code.
On the other hand, deadalnix demonstrated that the ldc optimizer was able to
remove the extra code.
I have a reasonable faith that optimization can be improved where necessary to
cover this.
