Hmm.  I could add the ability to switch off x-size snapping, and I
could also change the rounding rules to something similar the SROUND
instruction offers.  But IMHO the first option leaves a lot of fuzzy
x-heights for various ppem values, and the second option just shifts
the issue to different sizes.  But maybe it makes it shift away from
the `important' sizes...  I'll add it to my TODO list.

Well, *that* I won't provide, I think :-) However, I'll think about
how to make this easily editable, for example, by providing a simple
bytecode function which accepts a list of sizes where x-size snapping
should be disabled.  This list could be given as a command line
option.  Also added to my TODO list :-)
