  Description     : Library for manipulating OpenType font features

The purpose of this library is to provide a middle ground for representing
features in a machine-manipulable format, kind of like the abstract syntax
tree of a computer programmer. This is so that:

* features can be represented in a structured human-readable and
  machine-readable way, analogous to the XML files of the Unified Font
  Object format.
* features can be more directly authored by programs (such as font editors),
  rather than them having to output AFDKO feature file format.
* features can be easily manipulated by programs - for example, features from
  two files merged together, or lookups moved between languages.
