I'm also unimpressed by the copy-pasted bounds logic in hhea and vhea,
and the fact that that's coded in there instead of calling a function
on CFF / glyf tables respectively.
`tables=None` by default will build all supported tables;
To build only some of these and ignore the others, one can pass a
subset of supported tables tags: .e.g. `tables={'GSUB'}` will only
build the GSUB, even if the feature file may contain e.g. GPOS
related features.
Currently, the feature file parser always resolves included files,
parses their content and inserts it in the resulting AST. The original
`include` statement is lost.
This commit introduces an option to not follow inclusions. Instead, the
output AST will contain an `include` statement. This allows to process a
feature file on its own, and allows to round-trip it.
For example in glyphsLib, when going from a UFO to a .glyphs file, a
UFO feature file will be sliced up into Glyphs.app classes (e.g. a
GSFeaturePrefix with code `include(../family.fea);`) and when going back
from .glyphs to UFO, the feature file will be patched back together.
same as harfbuzz hb_script_get_horizontal_direction.
We just hard-code the set of RTL script here, as it doesn't change often anyway.
The function is just syntactic sugar as it all does is basically looking up the
constant RTL_SCRIPTS set.
It's nice to have it here in a central place alongside 'script', 'script_name', etc.
The split-glyf-to-one-glyph-per-file feature is only partially implemented,
as it was discussed here:
https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/issues/153#issuecomment-346677171
I need to cut a bugfix release today, but I don't want to ship this as is.
I prefer to temporarily rever, tag a release from master branch, then
revert it again to its present state so that bamidei can complete his
work.

changes made to b8482d9666f08d3603ee93d3ca52931550f715fc.
`script_code` does the reverse of `script_name`: it takes a long
script name and returns a 4-letter script code.
Both `script_name` and `script_code` raise KeyError by default,
but can optionally return a default value instead.
