In VTparse(), the main switch looks at CASE_PRINT (ordinary printable
characters) last. I think it's pretty obvious that cursor control
sequences would be in the minority of characters parsed so why not
put this case at the top of the loop? In a number of trials, I found
that doing this resulted about a 1-3% speed increase overall (wall
time and CPU time). Not a big improvement, but it's a essentially free.
