Cool idea! Perl is much nicer when it comes to sheer text manipulation,
which is what this task is... Then again, perl is much harder to
maintain, and gnu.java.lang.CharData could be useful elsewhere, like you
say. So I'll take a crack at writing a Java program to convert the
interface.

Nope, multiple 2-level tables would be on the order of 200k, larger than
a typical cache page. 3-level tables it is.
