Thank you, and your resulting patch looks all right. As an extra check, I verified that the AWK-generated files result in the same tables.

The follow-up change reducing string and vector literal mutation also looks fine. Just out of curiosity, how did you locate those instances? By searching for calls to mutating functions or with an instrumented Emacs?
