-- we need to check nbsphash (context only)

-- A few remarks:
--
-- This code is a partial rewrite of the code that deals with devanagari. The data
-- and logic is by Kai Eigner and based based on Microsoft's OpenType specifications
-- for specific scripts, but with a few improvements. More information can be found
-- at:
--
-- deva: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/OpenType%20Dev/devanagari/introO.mspx
-- dev2: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/OpenType%20Dev/devanagari/intro.mspx
--
-- Rajeesh Nambiar provided patches for the malayalam variant. Thanks to feedback
-- from the mailing list some aspects could be improved.
--
-- As I touched nearly all code, reshuffled it, optimized a lot, etc. etc. (imagine
-- how much can get messed up in over a week work) it could be that I introduced
-- bugs. There is more to gain (esp in the functions applied to a range) but I'll do
-- that when everything works as expected. Kai's original code is kept in
-- font-odk.lua as a reference so blame me (HH) for bugs. (We no longer ship that
-- file as the code below has diverted too much and in the meantime has more than
-- doubled in size.)
--
-- Interesting is that Kai managed to write this on top of the existing otf handler.
-- Only a few extensions were needed, like a few more analyzing states and dealing
-- with changed head nodes in the core scanner as that only happens here. There's a
-- lot going on here and it's only because I touched nearly all code that I got a
-- bit of a picture of what happens. For in-depth knowledge one needs to consult
-- Kai.
--
-- The rewrite mostly deals with efficiency, both in terms of speed and code. We
-- also made sure that it suits generic use as well as use in ConTeXt. I removed
-- some buglets but can as well have messed up the logic by doing this. For this we
-- keep the original around as that serves as reference. Due to the lots of
-- reshuffling glyphs quite some leaks occur(red) but once I'm satisfied with the
-- rewrite I'll weed them. I also integrated initialization etc into the regular
-- mechanisms.
--
-- In the meantime, we're down from 25.5-3.5=22 seconds to 17.7-3.5=14.2 seconds for
-- a 100 page sample (mid 2012) with both variants so it's worth the effort. Some
-- more speedup is to be expected. Due to the method chosen it will never be real
-- fast. If I ever become a power user I'll have a go at some further speed up. I
-- will rename some functions (and features) once we don't need to check the
-- original code. We now use a special subset sequence for use inside the analyzer
-- (after all we could can store this in the dataset and save redundant analysis).
--
-- By now we have yet another incremental improved version. In the end I might
-- rewrite the code.
--
-- Hans Hagen, PRAGMA-ADE, Hasselt NL

-- Todo:
--
-- Matras: according to Microsoft typography specifications "up to one of each type:
-- pre-, above-, below- or post- base", but that does not seem to be right. It could
-- become an option.
--
-- Resources:
--
-- The tables that we had here are now generated from char-def.lua or in the case of
-- generic usage loaded from luatex-basics-chr.lua. Still a couple of entries need
-- to be added to char-def.lua but finally I moved the indic specific tables there.
-- For generic usage one can create the relevant resources by running:
--
--     context luatex-basics-prepare.tex
--
-- and an overview with:
--
--     context --global s-fonts-basics.mkiv
--
-- For now we have defined: bengali, devanagari, gujarati, gurmukhi, kannada,
-- malayalam, oriya, tamil and tolugu but not all are checked. Also, some of the
-- code below might need to be adapted to the extra scripts.
