mktables memory reduction
Does the attached patch make sense? It lowers RAM and CPU usage by about 10%
on Linux, and 6% on FreeBSD.

Subject: [PATCH] In mktables, lazily compute the 'standard_form' for Ranges.
Instead of calculating the standard form up front, calculate it only when
needed and cache the result. There are 368676 non-special objects, but
the standard form is only requested for 22047 of them. For the systems I
tested on, this reduces RAM and CPU usage by about 10% on Linux, and 6% on
FreeBSD.
This is more significant than it may first seem, because mktables is the
largest RAM user of anything run during the build process, so this reduces
the build process peak RAM requirement.
