Subject: [PATCH] Optimize _get_span_op

The optimization moves the dictionary mapping from inside the function to module-level as a constant `_MAPPING`. This eliminates the overhead of recreating the dictionary on every function call.

**Key changes:**
- Dictionary creation moved from function scope to module scope as `_MAPPING`
- Function now simply references the pre-existing dictionary instead of creating it

**Why this is faster:**
In Python, dictionary creation involves memory allocation and key-value pair insertion operations that occur every time the function is called. By moving the mapping to module level, it's created only once when the module is imported, then reused for all subsequent function calls. This removes the dictionary creation overhead entirely from the hot path.

**Performance characteristics:**
The optimization shows consistent 90-173% speedup across all test cases, with particularly strong gains for:
- Edge cases with non-template inputs (130-173% faster) - benefits most from avoiding unnecessary dictionary creation
- Bulk operations processing many templates (119-138% faster) - cumulative savings from eliminating repeated dictionary creation
- Both valid template lookups and default fallbacks see similar gains, indicating the bottleneck was dictionary creation rather than lookup operations

This is a classic Python optimization pattern where moving expensive object creation out of frequently-called functions to module initialization provides substantial performance benefits.
