Actually I think the whole thing could be simplified to:

template <class Symbol>
struct special_symbol_map
{
        typedef Symbol                                                 
symbol_type;
        typedef typename boost::uint_t<sizeof(Symbol)*CHAR_BIT>::least 
index_type;
        // ...
};

<sigh>  sometimes you have to write more code before you come around to 
the "least code" solution. :-)
