I thing the only bit left is '.strhex'. So the only thing preventing branch
deletion is waiting for "I must do something about that" when I told you about
the significant slow down in specific workloads since the introduction of the
looping lookup.
I was hoping, and you have mentioned it in passing, using c++ maps in groff,
would result in a new .map/.lookup feature for groff which would have many
user applications such as possibly indexing, as well as in pdf.tmac.
However with your herculean effort with .asciify I think I can see a way of
replacing the loop and asciify the lookup name (instead of the device control
string which is no longer done) to avoid the parser barfing. Not sure, an
asciified string must still contain \[uXXXX] entities, may not be accepted as
part of a .ds name (but should be if we welcome non-english users).
