When I added the font.lazy setting, I made glyf table non-lazy by default. This is helpful to users who typically access glyphs like: glyf_table.glyphs[glyfname] instead of the correct way: glyf_table[glyfname] and also forget to call expand() on the glyph. However, this significantly slows down most scripts that load the font without lazy=True... As such, add a third mode to laziness. By default lazy=None and does NOT expand glyphs. If lazy=False is passed in, all glyphs are loaded. I hope this is an acceptable middle ground and not too confusing.
