   * @description:
   *   Compute the exact bounding box of an outline.  This is slower than
   *   computing the control box.  However, it uses an advanced algorithm
   *   that returns _very_ quickly when the two boxes coincide.  Otherwise,
   *   the outline Bezier arcs are traversed to extract their extrema.
   *
   * @input:
   *   outline ::
   *     A pointer to the source outline.
   *
   * @output:
   *   abbox ::
   *     The outline's exact bounding box.
   *
   * @return:
   *   FreeType error code.  0~means success.
   *
   * @note:
   *   If the font is tricky and the glyph has been loaded with
   *   @FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE, the resulting BBox is meaningless.  To get
   *   reasonable values for the BBox it is necessary to load the glyph at a
   *   large ppem value (so that the hinting instructions can properly shift
   *   and scale the subglyphs), then extracting the BBox, which can be
   *   eventually converted back to font units.
