I have no idea whether it works and I have no cycles either, so I would
appreciate it if you could polish it up so we can handle that new fangled
GCC "feature" nicely.
Alternatively file a bug report to the GCC folks :)
But seriously I think it's not completely insane what they are doing and
the table based approach is definitely more readable and maintainable than
the existing stuff.
