This commit modernizes lexer token recognition by utilizing existing hashmap infrastructure and arena allocation system for performance and consistency, resulting in O(n) → O(1) average case token lookup.
Summary by Bito
This pull request enhances the lexer token recognition system by replacing multiple strcmp chains with efficient hashmap lookups, improving performance from O(n) to O(1). A cleanup function for the lexer hashmaps has also been introduced to manage memory more effectively, ensuring better consistency and performance.
