Commenting just on the general concept, it should be useful to anyone
who wants to hand-instruct -- or just touchup -- a given font.  Or
anyone who wants to better understand how the instructions work.

Optimally, support should exist not just for instructions in the glyf
table, but also in any other tables which have them, such as prep.
