[relson at osage src]$ size lexer_v3.o lexer_v3.pi.1112.o
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  41899	      8	     60	  41967	   a3ef	lexer_v3.o
  51610	      8	  65640	 117258	  1ca0a	lexer_v3.pi.1112.o

While the source file is slightly smaller (approx 150 bytes), the .o
file is much larger (almost 3x)
