Okay, sounds good -- thanks!

It's for performance reasons, mostly: the structure consists of a hash
table (to store user symbol definitions) and an array (for the actual
data).  It's easy enough to get the data in the form of a parse tree
and massage it into these structures afterwards; I was just wondering
if there was a more direct way.
