Almost all the identifiers are ASCII, right?  So maybe optimize 99.9%
of use cases by storing such tags tables in a unibyte buffer, read
with insert-file-contents-literally?

As for why utf-8-emacs didn't help: I'm not really sure why Stefan
thought it will.  I mean, look at the code: it still encodes, just
differently.
