This is just a result of comparison my two old hand-written C++ lexers (with
preprocessors), with std::string and after replacing it with custom hash
string + allocator. And never more.
Little question. Why ANTLR still use buffering for source files? I think
modern computers and operating systems has enough physical or virtual memory
to load full source file. Maybe better remove buffering and simplify logic?
