Put bitmap data and alias target into a union
A character can't both be an alias and have its own bitmap data, so we
may as well overlap them. Wrapping them in a union doesn't require any
changes to the syntax of the glyphs array because C allows for
incomplete bracketing of initialisers. Because the union doesn't have a
name, its members can be accessed as though they're members of the
containing struct, which means that accesses to them don't need to
change.
There is a new flag to mark a glyph as an alias since "alias_of == NULL"
no longer works, and a corresponding change to the ALIAS() macro.
This saves about 20K of bedstead's data segment on a 64-bit system,

Output glyphs in an order that FontForge won't change
FontForge has opinions about what order glyphs in an OpenType font
should appear in, at least some of them being mandated by the OpenType
spec (for instance that .notdef must by glyph 0). When outputting an
OpenType font, FontForge re-orders it in accordance with these opinions.
I expect that this will be a problem if I want to emit a table that
FontForge doesn't understand, since it won't be able to correct the
glyph indexes in that table. Thus I've added code to re-order the
glyphs in Bedstead such that FontForge won't re-order them. This should
mean that bedstead.c can safely use the glyph indexes that it generates
without worrying that FontForge might change them.
I don't think FontForge minds what order unencoded glyphs appear in, but
I've defined them to be in strcmp() order of glyph name so that they're
at least somewhat stable. Before this, they were in the same order as

16-bit safety, maybe
Bedstead claims to be written in ISO C. ISO C allows "int" to be only
16 bits wide, which is a bit of a problem. In fact, it's not much of
a problem because Bedstead mostly deals in small numbers. The main
exception is Unicode code points, which can exceed 16 bits.
To hopefully fix this, Bedstead now mostly uses "long" for Unicode
code points. The main exception is in the gklph table where that
seems a bit profligate on 64-bit systems so I've used int_least32_t
instead.
The fiddliest bits of this are around uses of printf(), which cares
whether it's being passed an "int" or a "long".
This is untested on an actual 16-bit system, but at least on a 64-bit
system it continues to produce correct results.

An attempt at U+223E INVERTED LAZY S
I've deliberately made it have obvious hooks to distinguish it from
U+223D SINE WAVE.

A rather weird attempt at mathematical angle brackets
BQN wants U+27E8 MATHEMATICAL LEFT ANGLE BRACKET and U+27E9
MATHEMATICAL RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET in addition to the usual three kinds
of bracket and less-than and greater-than signs. I've come up with a
design that is at least visually distinct from all the others and
might be argued to be consistent with the way we represent oblique
lines in other characters (e.g. capital A).

Add APL's "circle jot"
I'mk a bit torn between this design and one that makes the circle the
height of a capital O, but this one is more consistent with out other
circles and jots.

Encode otherwise-unencoded glyphs in the private use area
There are several glyphs in Bedstead that are not encoded at standard
Unicode code points. In most cases this is because they're font
variants of other glyphs, and in one case it's a character that's
simply not in Unicode ("oldsheqel"). These can be accessed using
OpenType features or by glyph name, but not all applications make
those available or easy to use. Giving all the glyphs code points
makes them usable (albeit with some ugliness) in pretty much any
application.
The code points I've used are in the "Reserved for font hacks" range
in the ConScript Unicode Registry, which should minimise their chances
of colliding with other useful things.

Revert "Turn off font subsetting when generating glyph complement."
Bedstead is now so large that Ghostscript 10.00.0 insists on subsetting
it (and telling us it's doing so) anyway.

Fix double-struck f
For some reason I'd drawn it one pixel too tall.

Adjust double-struck M to put the double stroke on the right
That corresponds with where the heavy stroke is in normal roman fonts.

Double-struck N, finally
Ordinary roman typefaces make the diagonal of an N thick and the
vertical strokes thin, so I think it's entirely legitimate for the
diagonal to be the member that gets doubled even if that looks a bit
odd. That finally gets me the full double-struck alphabet.

Quine corners
One of these is used by BQN, but obviously if I'm going to have one I
should have all four.
According to Unicode document L2/07-004, "Proposal to add Medievalist
and Iranianist punctuation characters to the UCS", "The ideally formed
QUINE CORNER (U+231C-U+231F) has equal-length sides and sit at cap
height and on the baseline". I've tried to implement that here.
