-- NOTES:
-- * For more parser-based optimization ideas, see the TODO items or
--   look at technotes.txt.
-- * The processing load is quite significant, but since this is an
--   off-line text processor, I believe we can wait a few seconds.
-- * TODO: might process "local a,a,a" wrongly... need tests!
-- * TODO: remove position handling if overlapped locals (rem < 0)
--   needs more study, to check behaviour
-- * TODO: there are probably better ways to do allocation, e.g. by
--   choosing better methods to sort and pick locals...
-- * TODO: we don't need 53*63 two-letter identifiers; we can make
--   do with significantly less depending on how many that are really
--   needed and improve entropy; e.g. 13 needed -> choose 4*4 instead

-- Letter frequencies for reducing symbol entropy (fixed version)
-- * Might help a wee bit when the output file is compressed
-- * See Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_frequencies
-- * We use letter frequencies according to a Linotype keyboard, plus
--   the underscore, and both lower case and upper case letters.
-- * The arrangement below (LC, underscore, %d, UC) is arbitrary.
-- * This is certainly not optimal, but is quick-and-dirty and the
--   process has no significant overhead
