<PP>
The <STRREF NOLINK/CharMap/ structure provides fast, read-only
maps from characters to values.

<STRUCTURE STRID="CharMap">
  <OPAQUE>  <SIGBODY SIGID="CHAR_MAP" FILE=CHAR-MAP>
    <SPEC>
      <TYPE><TYPARAM>'a<ID>char_map
    <SPEC>
      <VAL>mkCharMap<TY>{default : 'a, bindings : (string * 'a) list} -> 'a char_map
        <COMMENT>
          <PROTOTY>
          mkCharMap {<ARG/default/, <ARG/bindings/}
          </PROTOTY>
          makes a character map that maps the bound characters to their 
          bindings and maps everything else to the default value.
          Specifically, if <CD/c/ is a character and <CD/(str,v)/ is an
          item in <ARG/bindings/ with <CD/c/ in <CD/str/, then <CD/c/
          will be mapped to <CD/v/. Otherwise, <CD/c/ is mapped to
          <ARG/default/.

          <PP>
          Note that the <ARG/bindings/ list is processed from left to
          right, so if a character appears in multiple strings, the
          binding specified by the rightmost one will be the one used
          in the map.
    <SPEC>
      <VAL>mapChr<TY>'a char_map -> char -> 'a
        <COMMENT>
          <PROTOTY>
          mapChr <ARG/cm/ <ARG/c/
          </PROTOTY>
          maps the given character.
    <SPEC>
      <VAL>mapStrChr<TY>'a char_map -> (string * int) -> 'a
        <COMMENT>
          <PROTOTY>
          mapStrChr <ARG/cm/ (<ARG/s/, <ARG/i/)
          </PROTOTY>
          is equivalent to
          <CODE>
          mapChr cm (String.sub(s, i)))
          </CODE>
