The approach here is very close to what on-demand hinting that is
already upstream does.

This should have resulted in a most of the code being shared
but this does not seem to happen here.

Can we unify the code in some way?
It can still use a separate feature flag, but there are things
I like very much about current hinting code, such as
using s/g instead of passing PFNs in a buffer.

If this doesn't work could you elaborate on why?
