   *   Handling FT_Bitmap objects.
   *
   * @description:
   *   This section contains functions for handling @FT_Bitmap objects,
   *   automatically adjusting the target's bitmap buffer size as needed.
   *
   *   Note that none of the functions changes the bitmap's 'flow' (as
   *   indicated by the sign of the `pitch` field in @FT_Bitmap).
   *
   *   To set the flow, assign an appropriate positive or negative value to
   *   the `pitch` field of the target @FT_Bitmap object after calling
   *   @FT_Bitmap_Init but before calling any of the other functions
   *   described here.
