That's clearly needed and way overdue. But even more important is to
register ONE feature that can be used for any purpose. GSUB and GPOS. Any
lookup type.

Of course that's become complicated by MS chopping application of lookups
into chunks in multiple script shapers, contrary to what the OT spec says
(that all enabled lookups are applied in lookup-number order.)
