Description
The `constgrep` tool could probably be a bit faster. I'm not sure what's making it so slow at the moment. It shouldn't take ~2 seconds to look up a value.
```
$ time constgrep EPERM
#define EPERM 1
constgrep EPERM 1.12s user 0.43s system 88% cpu 1.751 total
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by running the reported `time constgrep EPERM` command and inspect the `constgrep` entry point to identify where the lookup spends its time. Profile the command, then verify that the lookup completes substantially faster than the reported ~2 seconds without changing its output.
