Do I see it right that it really comes down to one use of

seems to be interested only in ASCII properties since it is
processing C code, could the switch-case be optimized into a
256 entries large jump table?
If a table lookup (char->bool) is faster than multiple
comparisons, why shouldn't this apply to char->address as well?
I was thinking the same, sure would be nice if computed goto:s were
standardized. (as suggested by Bearophile many times)
_Explicit_ tail call (aka switch-call) would have been cleaner and more
modular. It covers all relevant cases of computed-goto such as
threaded-code interpreters and also recursion-heavy functional code.
