> Is there a significant advantage to keeping keywords in a hash table?

Very definitely. Ocamlex has some limitations on the size of the
tables it can generate and those limits are relatively easy to
hit :-).

Moving all the keywords into a hashtable, and using that to differentiate
between keywords and identifiers actually works very well.

Cheers,
Erik
