   *   While FreeType's auto-hinter doesn't expose API functions by itself,
   *   it is possible to control its behaviour with @FT_Property_Set and
   *   @FT_Property_Get.  The following lists the available properties
   *   together with the necessary macros and structures.

   *   Note that the auto-hinter's module name is `autofitter' for

   * @property:
   *   glyph-to-script-map
   *
   * @description:
   *   The auto-hinter provides various script modules to hint glyphs.
   *   Examples of supported scripts are Latin or CJK.  Before a glyph is
   *   auto-hinted, the Unicode character map of the font gets examined, and
   *   the script is then determined based on Unicode character ranges, see
   *   below.
   *
   *   OpenType fonts, however, often provide much more glyphs than
   *   character codes (small caps, superscripts, ligatures, swashes, etc.),
   *   to be controlled by so-called `features'.  Handling OpenType features
   *   can be quite complicated and thus needs a separate library on top of
   *   FreeType.
   *
   *   The mapping between glyph indices and scripts (in the auto-hinter
   *   sense, see the @FT_AUTOHINTER_SCRIPT_XXX values) is stored as an
   *   array with `num_glyphs' elements, as found in the font's @FT_Face
   *   structure.  The `glyph-to-script-map' property returns a pointer to
   *   this array which can be modified as needed.  Note that the
   *   modification should happen before the first glyph gets processed by
   *   the auto-hinter so that the global analysis of the font shapes
   *   actually uses the modified mapping.
   *
   *   The following example code demonstrates how to access it (omitting
   *   the error handling).
   *
   *   {
   *     FT_Library                library;
   *     FT_Face                   face;
   *     FT_Prop_GlyphToScriptMap  prop;
   *
   *
   *     FT_Init_FreeType( &library );
   *     FT_New_Face( library, "foo.ttf", 0, &face );
   *
   *     prop.face = face;
   *
   *     FT_Property_Get( library, "autofitter",
   *                               "glyph-to-script-map", &prop );
   *
   *     // adjust `prop.map' as needed right here
   *
   *     FT_Load_Glyph( face, ..., FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT );

   *     very broad term, including Cyrillic and Greek also since characters

   * @description:
   *   If no auto-hinter script module can be assigned to a glyph, a
   *   fallback script gets assigned to it (see also the
   *   @glyph-to-script-map property).  By default, this is
   *   @FT_AUTOHINTER_SCRIPT_CJK.  Using the `fallback-script' property,

   *
   *   It's important to use the right timing for changing this value: The
   *   creation of the glyph-to-script map which eventually uses the
   *   fallback script value gets triggered either by setting or reading a
   *   face-specific property like @glyph-to-script-map, or by auto-hinting
   *   any glyph from that face.  In particular, if you have already created
   *   an @FT_Face structure but not loaded any glyph (using the
   *   auto-hinter), a change of the fallback glyph will affect this face.
