  *   An opaque type describing a user-provided object used to implement
  *   "incremental" glyph loading within FreeType.  This is used to support
  *   embedded fonts in certain environments (e.g. Postscript interpreters),
  *   where the glyph data isn't in the font file, or must be overridden by
  *   different values.
  *
  * @note:
  *   It is up to client applications to create and implement @FT_Incremental
  *   objects, as long as they provide implementations for the methods
  *   @FT_Incremental_GetGlyphDataFunc, @FT_Incremental_FreeGlyphDataFunc
  *   and @FT_Incremental_GetGlyphMetricsFunc.
  *
  *   See the description of @FT_Incremental_InterfaceRec to understand how
  *   to use incremental objects with FreeType.

  *   Note that the format of the glyph's data bytes depends on the font
  *   file format.  For TrueType, it must correspond to the raw bytes within
  *   the 'glyf' table.  For Postscript formats, it must correspond to the
  *   *unencrypted* charstring bytes, without any 'lenIV' header.  It is
  *   undefined for any other format.

  *     accessed as a read-only byte block).
  *

  *
  * @note:
  *   If this function returns succesfully the method
  *   @FT_Incremental_FreeGlyphDataFunc will be called later to release
  *   the data bytes.
  *
  *   Nested calls to @FT_Incremental_GetGlyphDataFunc can happen for
  *   compound glyphs.
