-- todo: option.outlines
-- todo: option.boundingbox
-- per charstring (less memory)

-- This is a heavy one as it is a rather packed format. We don't need al the information
-- now but we might need it later (who know what magic we can do with metapost). So at
-- some point this might become a module. We just follow Adobe Technical Notes #5176 and
-- #5177. In case of doubt I looked in the fontforge code that comes with LuaTeX but
-- it's not the easiest source to read (and doesn't cover cff2).

-- For now we save the segments in a list of segments with the operator last in an entry
-- because that reflects the original. But it might make more sense to use a single array
-- per segment. For pdf a simple concat works ok, but for other purposes a operator first
-- flush is nicer.
--
-- In retrospect I could have looked into the backend code of LuaTeX but it never
-- occurred to me that parsing charstrings was needed there (which has to to
-- with merging subroutines and flattening, not so much with calculations.) On
-- the other hand, we can now feed back cff2 stuff.
