technically we are tweaking the original example from the spec but it keeps the spirit, so that the product of glyph classes produces the same representation in the font as if the sequences were manually enumerated (while keeping the declaration order)
Allow variable scaler in ligature caret position and build
CaretValueFormat3 with DeviceTable. Does not support non-variable device
table, but can be added if someone really really wants it.
If a variable scalar does not vary (i.e. all values are the same), we
can simplify it and use a simple value instead. Arguably users shouldn’t
be using variable scalar in this case, but it helps when the feature
code is auto generated so each feaLib users doesn’t have to do the
check done here themselves.
This is a GlyphsApp extension, (partially) documented [here][1], but it is a
useful one as it allows concise glyph insertion using decomposition
without having to maintain the list of glyphs in two places. E.g.
```fea
@upper = [A-Z];
lookup insert {
sub @upper by @upper connector;
} insert;
feature ccmp {
sub @upper' lookup insert x;
} ccmp;
```
As apposed to:
```fea
@upper = [A-Z];
lookup insert {
sub A by A connector;
sub B by B connector;
sub C by C connector;
sub D by D connector;
sub E by E connector;
sub F by F connector;
sub G by G connector;
sub H by H connector;
sub I by I connector;
sub J by J connector;
sub K by K connector;
sub L by L connector;
sub M by M connector;
sub N by N connector;
sub O by O connector;
sub P by P connector;
sub R by R connector;
sub S by S connector;
sub T by T connector;
sub U by U connector;
sub V by V connector;
sub W by W connector;
sub X by X connector;
sub Y by Y connector;
sub Z by Z connector;
} insert;
feature ccmp {
sub @upper' lookup insert x;
} ccmp;
```

Fixes https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/issues/2949
- If there are no marked glyphs in an "ignore" statement, issue a
warning. The spec disallows this but makeotf allows it. It is most
likely a typo, so a warning is warranted.
- Mark the first glyph not all the glyphs, this matches makeotf.
- In asFea() always mark the input glyph.
- Udpate the tests.
This patch ensures that feaLib always produces a name table with entries
sorted in the order proscribed by the spec: platform id, encoding id,
language id, name id.
This breaks some tests, and so I have manually updated the test data to
match the new outputs.
* Speed up varscalar with caching
* Don't use cached_property
* Make model pool a class attribute
* Don't catch things on the values side
* Remove unused import
* add test that fails for #2293
* fixing #2293: rewrite of contextual positioning logic, ensure len(suffix) > 1 yields the correct result; checking more edge cases and raising errors inspired by makeotf
* test error cases
* only check when we actually have a value
* catch one more case that makeotf errors on and we didn't
* Replaced all from ...py23 import * with explicit name imports, or removed completely when possible.
* Replaced tounicode() with tostr()
* Changed all BytesIO ans StringIO imports to from io import ..., replaced all UnicodeIO with StringIO.
* Replaced all unichr() with chr()
* Misc minor tweaks and fixes
