Comment on Strategies for Fast Lexers

Well, when it's this fast already, there may not be much point in vectorizing it.

For integer parsing, this is a pretty cheap operation, so I wonder if it is worthwhile to try to avoid doing it many times. For double parsing, it is expensive if you require the bottom couple bits to be correct, so the approach in the blog post should create savings.
