Thanks!  Will check later.

This I don't know.  Ideally, everything should be unified that can be
unified.  The basic question is how much similarities in the code are
present, and how much unification makes actually sense.

My original, vague idea was to prepare Type 1 data (not thinking about
what `prepare' exactly means) so that it can be accepted by the CFF
interpreter, which in turn gets slightly extended where necessary to
handle Type 1 data.
