+ \beginaltitem {aux.font_index (void)}
+ Return a reference of the font names table used internally

+ has not been loaded up to this point. Also a font scan that
+ overwrites the current index file might be triggered. Since
+ the return value points to the actual index, any
+ modifications to the table might influence runtime behavior
+ of \identifier{luaotfload}.
