-- langs -> languages enz
-- anchor_classes vs kernclasses
-- modification/creationtime in subfont is runtime dus zinloos
-- to_table -> totable
-- ascent descent

-- to be checked: combinations like:
--
-- current="ABCD" with [A]=nothing, [BC]=ligature, [D]=single (applied to result of BC so funny index)
--
-- unlikely but possible

-- more checking against low level calls of functions
