Any idea why the .so is so big?

I noticed that the verilog.so is huge compared to all of my other parsers. Due to offline environments, I rsync my nvim configs around a lot, so I was looking for the biggest files.

I checked for signs of static linking, but all the so's have the same ldd output. That doesn't rule out static linking of something else, but I'm guessing the tree-sitter template and build environment is not likely to have been messed with.

It is rather large language with a huge grammar. That is probably the reason.
