If you mean for all the strchr etc. calls, multiple tables would be
required since URL_SCHEME_CHARS and URL_HOST_CHARS partially overlap,
The entries of the table could be at least 8-bit wide, so there
shouldn't be any problem, should there?
but it could be done. Is the speed of strchr that much of a concern?
The code will only be invoked for http.<url>.* option settings in any
case and I expect the user would have to set an awfully large number
of those to even begin to notice.
We can start slow and then optimize, but I suspect that there are
sufficient number of people who are into micro-optimizing, and such
a slow implementation may quickly be replaced.
