   *   How to manage Multiple Masters fonts.
   *
   * @description:
   *   The following types and functions are used to manage Multiple Master
   *   fonts, i.e., the selection of specific design instances by setting
   *   design axis coordinates.
   *
   *   Besides Adobe MM fonts, the interface supports Apple's TrueType GX and
   *   OpenType variation fonts.  Some of the routines only work with Adobe
   *   MM fonts, others will work with all three types.  They are similar
   *   enough that a consistent interface makes sense.

   * @description:
   *   Get the 'flags' field of an OpenType Variation Axis Record.
   *
   *   Not meaningful for Adobe MM fonts (`*flags` is always zero).
   *
   * @input:
   *   master ::
   *     The variation descriptor.
   *
   *   axis_index ::
   *     The index of the requested variation axis.
   *
   * @output:
   *   flags ::
   *     The 'flags' field.  See @FT_VAR_AXIS_FLAG_XXX for possible values.
   *
   * @return:
   *   FreeType error code.  0~means success.

   *
   * @description:
   *   Set or change the current named instance.
   *
   * @input:
   *   face ::
   *     A handle to the source face.
   *
   *   instance_index ::
   *     The index of the requested instance, starting with value 1.  If set
   *     to value 0, FreeType switches to font access without a named
   *     instance.
   *
   * @return:
   *   FreeType error code.  0~means success.
   *
   * @note:
   *   The function uses the value of `instance_index` to set bits 16-30 of
   *   the face's `face_index` field.  It also resets any variation applied
   *   to the font, and the @FT_FACE_FLAG_VARIATION bit of the face's
   *   `face_flags` field gets reset to zero (i.e., @FT_IS_VARIATION will
   *   return false).
   *
   *   For Adobe MM fonts (which don't have named instances) this function
   *   simply resets the current face to the default instance.
