Yes, I'm fully aware of that and that's perfectly fine! The strategy here
is to log the issues that freetype currently detects without causing any
unnecessary burden on the code's primary goal.

Thanks for your kind words, Werner. For the sake of wrapping my head around
it all, I've setup a git repo in which I applied HinTak's public patches on
top of freetype's 2.6.4 tagged-commit. (I may at some point do the same to
the tip of the master branch as well). There's nothing new there right now
but I may possibly be adding further improvements to the code later in that
repo.
