That's right but subclasses of PDFTextStreamEngine such as PDFTextStripper 
don't have access to that. So yes, we've lost that capability for 
PDFTextStripper.

What's needed is for the glyphList in PDFTextStripper to be overridden, either 
by making it protected or adding a getter/setter (the latter is probably a bit 
easier for users). Note that GlyphLists are immutable and may be arbitrarily 
chained by wrapping with another GlyphList, as the constructor of 
PDFTextStripper does.
