// establish how far from this speed of light the actual lexer currently sits.
//
// A major impact on the observed performance of this technique is how many
// different functions are reached in this dispatch loop. This benchmark
// infrastructure tries to bracket the range of performance this technique
// affords with different numbers of dispatch target functions.
