That way a font debugger could show the glyph string state before and after a lookup runs, the position in the glyph string where the lookup is executed and which lookup executed.

We need a concrete API proposal for this.  *How* it's implemented is
irrelevant.  Last time Jonathan and I thought about it we couldn't come up
with anything concrete.

And it doesn't block a v1.0 anyway since it doesn't involve changing existing
APIs.
