"""T2CharString operator specializer and generalizer.

PostScript glyph drawing operations can be expressed in multiple different
ways. For example, as well as the ``lineto`` operator, there is also a
``hlineto`` operator which draws a horizontal line, removing the need to
specify a ``dx`` coordinate, and a ``vlineto`` operator which draws a
vertical line, removing the need to specify a ``dy`` coordinate. As well
as decompiling :class:`fontTools.misc.psCharStrings.T2CharString` objects
into lists of operations, this module allows for conversion between general
and specific forms of the operation.

    hintmask/cntrmask argument, as well as stray arguments at the end of the

    'getNumRegions' may be None, or a callable object. It must return the
    number of regions. 'getNumRegions' takes a single argument, vsindex. If
    the vsindex argument is None, getNumRegions returns the default number
    of regions for the charstring, else it returns the numRegions for
    the vsindex.
    The Charstring may or may not start with a width value. If the first
    non-blend operator has an odd number of arguments, then the first argument is
    a width, and is popped off. This is complicated with blend operators, as
    there may be more than one before the first hint or moveto operator, and each
    one reduces several arguments to just one list argument. We have to sum the
    number of arguments that are not part of the blend arguments, and all the
    'numBlends' values. We could instead have said that by definition, if there
    is a blend operator, there is no width value, since CFF2 Charstrings don't
    have width values. I discussed this with Behdad, and we are allowing for an
    initial width value in this case because developers may assemble a CFF2
    charstring from CFF Charstrings, which could have width values.

    #
    # We, in fact, specialize into more, made-up, variants that special-case when both
    # X and Y components are zero.  This simplifies the following optimization passes.
    # This case is rare, but OCD does not let me skip it.
    #
    # After this round, we will have four variants that use the following mnemonics:
    #
    #  - 'r' for relative,   ie. non-zero X and non-zero Y,
    #  - 'h' for horizontal, ie. zero X and non-zero Y,
    #  - 'v' for vertical,   ie. non-zero X and zero Y,
    #  - '0' for zeros,      ie. zero X and zero Y.
    #
    # The '0' pseudo-operators are not part of the spec, but help simplify the following
    # optimization rounds.  We resolve them at the end.  So, after this, we will have four
    # moveto and four lineto variants:
    #
    #  - 0moveto, 0lineto
    #  - hmoveto, hlineto
    #  - vmoveto, vlineto
    #  - rmoveto, rlineto
    #
    # and sixteen curveto variants.  For example, a '0hcurveto' operator means a curve
    # dx0,dy0,dx1,dy1,dx2,dy2,dx3,dy3 where dx0, dx1, and dy3 are zero but not dx3.
    # An 'rvcurveto' means dx3 is zero but not dx0,dy0,dy3.
    #
    # There are nine different variants of curves without the '0'.  Those nine map exactly
    # to the existing curve variants in the spec: rrcurveto, and the four variants hhcurveto,
    # vvcurveto, hvcurveto, and vhcurveto each cover two cases, one with an odd number of
    # arguments and one without.  Eg. an hhcurveto with an extra argument (odd number of
    # arguments) is in fact an rhcurveto.  The operators in the spec are designed such that
    # all four of rhcurveto, rvcurveto, hrcurveto, and vrcurveto are encodable for one curve.
    #
    # Of the curve types with '0', the 00curveto is equivalent to a lineto variant.  The rest
    # of the curve types with a 0 need to be encoded as a h or v variant.  Ie. a '0' can be
    # thought of a "don't care" and can be used as either an 'h' or a 'v'.  As such, we always
    # encode a number 0 as argument when we use a '0' variant.  Later on, we can just substitute
    # the '0' with either 'h' or 'v' and it works.
    #
    # When we get to curve splines however, things become more complicated...  XXX finish this.
    # There's one more complexity with splines.  If one side of the spline is not horizontal or
    # vertical (or zero), ie. if it's 'r', then it limits which spline types we can encode.
    # Only hhcurveto and vvcurveto operators can encode a spline starting with 'r', and
    # only hvcurveto and vhcurveto operators can encode a spline ending with 'r'.
    # This limits our merge opportunities later.
