   Oh, yeah, sure -- I didn't understand what you meant.   
      
   You want a table of identifiers, so multiple occurrences are just an   
   index into that table or whatever.  But no particular semantic   
   information attached to those identifiers.   
      
   I once wrote a compiler-like tool that represented identifiers   
   as an index into the source code.  But I later decided that was   
   a dumb idea.
