These identifiers are stored in the identifierTable on the  
globalData.  The identifiers are represented by objects of type  
Identifier.  If you look in parse.h, the nodes that have an identifier  
as a one of their properties typically have a field called m_ident.   
Within the Identifer constructor it calls Identifer::add() (which is  
in Identifier.cpp), and this ensures each identifier is represented by  
a unique string in the identifierTable.

I hope this helps to answer your question.
