Yep, my fault.  I was distracted by the `hb_codepoint_t' type.

If you open some cans full of time for me, I would immediately start
with that.  However, I think that you are the very person who should
add raw documentation (this is, adding one or two sentences to roughly
describe each function); other people like me could then polish that.
It's *not* fun to be forced to check the sources in case a function
parameter is not obvious – and the obviousness differs enormously
between you and me, since you are the author...
