But no matter. My most significant bit is, we need a trie lexer

support user-provided languages, having the library manage the string ->
small integer mapping becomes essential.
It's good to get rid of the symbol names.
You should try to map the strings onto an enum so that final switch works.
final switch (t.type_)
{
case t!"<<": break;
// ...
}
