So this means that OTF features are supported, but not directly user
controllable yet?

I'm using debian unstable with 24.4.1, m17n is enabled and m17n-db.

It doesn't look like ~/.m17n.d/ is ever read (I tried to run emacs
through strace). It's stat(2)-ed a couple of times, and that's it.

I tried to use m17n-edit, and it tries to read a couple of unexisting
files in ~/.m17n.d/, but not generic.fst/COMBINING.flt
