Yeah, I was wondering about that too. It would likely mean adding a
compile time dependency on gperf or similar tool, but we could take
our standard approach of shipping the output in tarballs, so that only
developers would really need to install that tool.
Rebuilding a constant table during every backend start seems like a
pretty brute-force answer.
