  Well after taking to heart about a gc-less solution and doing a 
inputRange I re-wrote the entire thing. Of course to make it even 
faster/simpler a full lookup table conversion is used instead. 
Further reduction has made a very tiny simple filter.

  Curiously relooking at it there's actually very few codes that 
are there that really require special attention. If there's still 
any interest in this I can release it.
