-- many 0,0 entry/exit

-- This loader went through a few iterations. First I made a ff compatible one so
-- that we could do some basic checking. Also some verbosity was added (named
-- glyphs). Eventually all that was dropped for a context friendly format, simply
-- because keeping the different table models in sync too to much time. I have the
-- old file somewhere. A positive side effect is that we get an (upto) much smaller
-- smaller tma/tmc file. In the end the loader will be not much slower than the
-- c based ff one.

-- Being binary encoded, an opentype is rather compact. When expanded into a Lua table
-- quite some memory can be used. This is very noticeable in the ff loader, which for
-- a good reason uses a verbose format. However, when we use that data we create a couple
-- of hashes. In the Lua loader we create these hashes directly, which save quite some
-- memory.
--
-- We convert a font file only once and then cache it. Before creating the cached instance
-- packing takes place: common tables get shared. After (re)loading and unpacking we then
-- get a rather efficient internal representation of the font. In the new loader there is a
-- pitfall. Because we use some common coverage magic we put a bit more information in
-- the mark and cursive coverage tables than strickly needed: a reference to the coverage
-- itself. This permits a fast lookup of the second glyph involved. In the marks we
-- expand the class indicator to a class hash, in the cursive we use a placeholder that gets
-- a self reference. This means that we cannot pack these subtables unless we add a unique
-- id per entry (the same one per coverage) and that makes the tables larger. Because only a
-- few fonts benefit from this, I decided to not do this. Experiments demonstrated that it
-- only gives a few percent gain (on for instance husayni we can go from 845K to 828K
-- bytecode). Better stay conceptually clean than messy compact.

-- When we can reduce all basic lookups to one step we might safe a bit in the processing
-- so then only chains are multiple.

-- I used to flatten kerns here but that has been moved elsewhere because it polutes the code
-- here and can be done fast afterwards. One can even wonder if it makes sense to do it as we
-- pack anyway. In a similar fashion the unique placeholders in anchors in marks have been
-- removed because packing doesn't save much there anyway.

-- Although we have a bit more efficient tables in the cached files, the internals are still
-- pretty similar. And although we have a slightly more direct coverage access the processing
-- of node lists is not noticeable faster for latin texts, but for arabic we gain some 10%
-- (and could probably gain a bit more).
