No, scratch that, it seems the two forms of lea are:
leal (,%rdx,8), %ecx
leal (%rdx,%rdx,8), %ecx
The first operand in both is the implicit zero, so with 3 and 5 we do
get the slow lea on some architectures. So I've only kept the
shift-and-add multipliers in v2. I also changed the order of iteration
of the parameters, for speed. Before, it took over 30 seconds to build
the unicode quick check tables, now it takes under 2 seconds.
