+ *
+ * @title:
+ * Cache Sub-System
+ *
+ * @abstract:
+ * How to cache face, size, and glyph data with FreeType~2.
+ *
+ * @description:
+ * This section describes the FreeType~2 cache sub-system, which is used
+ * to limit the number of concurrently opened @FT_Face and @FT_Size
+ * objects, as well as caching information like character maps and glyph
+ * images while limiting their maximum memory usage.
+ *
+ * Note that all types and functions begin with the `FTC_` prefix.
+ *
+ * The cache is highly portable and thus doesn't know anything about the
+ * fonts installed on your system, or how to access them. This implies
+ * the following scheme:
+ *
+ * First, available or installed font faces are uniquely identified by
+ * @FTC_FaceID values, provided to the cache by the client. Note that
+ * the cache only stores and compares these values, and doesn't try to
+ * interpret them in any way.
+ *
+ * Second, the cache calls, only when needed, a client-provided function
+ * to convert an @FTC_FaceID into a new @FT_Face object. The latter is
+ * then completely managed by the cache, including its termination
+ * through @FT_Done_Face. To monitor termination of face objects, the
+ * finalizer callback in the `generic` field of the @FT_Face object can
+ * be used, which might also be used to store the @FTC_FaceID of the
+ * face.
+ *
+ * Clients are free to map face IDs to anything else. The most simple
+ * usage is to associate them to a (pathname,face_index) pair that is
+ * used to call @FT_New_Face. However, more complex schemes are also
+ * possible.
+ *
+ * Note that for the cache to work correctly, the face ID values must be
+ * **persistent**, which means that the contents they point to should not
+ * change at runtime, or that their value should not become invalid.
+ *
+ * If this is unavoidable (e.g., when a font is uninstalled at runtime),
+ * you should call @FTC_Manager_RemoveFaceID as soon as possible, to let
+ * the cache get rid of any references to the old @FTC_FaceID it may keep
+ * internally. Failure to do so will lead to incorrect behaviour or even
+ * crashes.
+ *
+ * To use the cache, start with calling @FTC_Manager_New to create a new
+ * @FTC_Manager object, which models a single cache instance. You can
+ * then look up @FT_Face and @FT_Size objects with
+ * @FTC_Manager_LookupFace and @FTC_Manager_LookupSize, respectively.
+ *
+ * If you want to use the charmap caching, call @FTC_CMapCache_New, then
+ * later use @FTC_CMapCache_Lookup to perform the equivalent of
+ * @FT_Get_Char_Index, only much faster.
+ *
+ * If you want to use the @FT_Glyph caching, call @FTC_ImageCache_New,
+ * then later use @FTC_ImageCache_Lookup to retrieve the corresponding
+ * @FT_Glyph objects from the cache.
+ *
+ * If you need lots of small bitmaps, it is much more memory efficient to
+ * call @FTC_SBitCache_New followed by @FTC_SBitCache_Lookup. This
+ * returns @FTC_SBitRec structures, which are used to store small bitmaps
+ * directly. (A small bitmap is one whose metrics and dimensions all fit
+ * into 8-bit integers).
+ *
+ * We hope to also provide a kerning cache in the near future.
