I don't think it's possible to say whether it's preformance critical - 
I can certainly image use cases such as parser generators where its 
speed could be noticed.

I tried building a version using regular expressions, but I couldn't do 
any better than 5x slower than the existing implementations, and the 
resulting code was less readable.
