Almost OK for me. I don't understand the reordering of

the new criteria ?
Well, the expensive search is on the text when running gas. I was
thinking that, ideally, the tables would be ordered so that the
most-often-used types are near the beginning (a dup value had also
crept in).
Ok, that makes sense. Please, just add a comment that the entries
are ordered by use frequency for gas (until we use an hash table).
done.
Should I commit ?
I suppose I should do this one.. and see if I have everything in
place correctly…
Great, go ahead!
done, hopefully all OK ... would be grateful for an eye cast over it
in case I've missed anything about differences in policy between here
and GCC.
cheers
