Is this really the capability that the FeatureInfo structure implements? 
My understanding of the Zapf table spec is that the FeatureInfo 
structure specifies line layout contexts for displaying particular glyphs.

Now that is a very, very cool thing that I wish OpenType supported, but 
I think it is different from the kind of character code to multiple 
glyph mapping that I am suggesting.

The criminologist's definition of 'public order
crimes' comes perilously close to the historian's
description of 'working-class leisure-time activity.'
