If the space utilization is seen to be unacceptable in the end (which I don't 
think is the case), then maybe there might be an engineering approach to it. 
After computing the complete AST, a transformer class can convert the whole 
tree into a space optimized tree which has only the information that the 
cppsupport clients will require.

This being an abstract idea, I need to know whether you find it feasible or 
useful.
