Chrome's current user agent string comes in at around ~150 characters, depending on platform. Taking that as a baseline, how many strings could we reasonably encode? Can the table expand to an extend that would allow it to cover enough of the UA market?

The cost is in static code size only, so in theory it could be
modestly large.  (Those concerned with static code size can replace
the strings with symbols representing the semantics without preserving
the syntax - those 150+ characters could be just be a static
