    Description : Library for manipulating OpenType font features

    The purpose of this library is to provide a middle ground for representing features in a machine-manipulable format, kind of like the abstract syntax
    tree of a computer programmer. This is so that:

    * features can be represented in a structured human-readable and
    machine-readable way, analogous to the XML files of the Unified Font
    Object format.
    * features can be more directly authored by programs (such as font editors),
    rather than them having to output AFDKO feature file format.
    * features can be easily manipulated by programs - for example, features from
    two files merged together, or lookups moved between languages.
