Well, there are historic reasons for that. On the other hand, I think
that for lilypond, which often provides multiple glyph representation
forms of certain elements, glyph names are a better choice.
The linear search in `sfnt_get_name_index' could be easily improved by
providing a sorted array, replacing the linear search with binary
search.
