   *   A bit-flag to be OR-ed with the `flags` parameter of the
   *   @FT_Get_Advance and @FT_Get_Advances functions.
   *
   *   If set, it indicates that you want these functions to fail if the
   *   corresponding hinting mode or font driver doesn't allow for very quick
   *   advance computation.
   *
   *   Typically, glyphs that are either unscaled, unhinted, bitmapped, or
   *   light-hinted can have their advance width computed very quickly.
   *
   *   Normal and bytecode hinted modes that require loading, scaling, and
   *   hinting of the glyph outline, are extremely slow by comparison.
