Hey - I am thrilled to hear about your positive experience with interning strings. I never actually did a performance test, so I am delighted to hear your gains were substantial.

As for you questions about performance on bigger source files and twiddling optimization options, I too am curious about that. I will likely revisit those questions at some point in the future. It will be easier to do once I have baked these diagnostics into the compiler.
