Feature Request:

It would be nice feature to include an option to not encapsulate keywords in
qoutes. This way, elements can possibly refer to an external table.
Following is an example.

instead of:
static struct  stable_gperf  wordlist[] =
{
...
"string_table[TABLE_ERROR]", TABLE_ERROR
...

generate:
static struct  stable_gperf  wordlist[] =
{
...
string_table[TABLE_ERROR], TABLE_ERROR
...


xx.h

enum etable
{
   TABLE_ERROR=0,
   ...
   TABLE_ELEMENTS,
   TABLE_STRING_LEN=64
};

extern const char string_table[TABLE_ELEMENTS][TABLE_STRING_LEN+1];

struct stable_gperf  {
    char *name;
    enum etable index;
};

xx.gperf
%{
#include <string.h>
#include "xx.h"
%}
struct stable_gperf
%%
string_table[TABLE_ERROR], TABLE_ERROR
...


Thanks,
