Re: [jlreq] Proportional J text has spacing needs beyond JIS X 4051 mojikumi (#296)

Something @KobayashiToshi mentioned in the JLReq meeting made me think of this: When the font designer is creating a proportional J font, and deciding the optimal spacing for punctuation (e.g. the left side of the opening full width parenthesis), some knowledge of which mojikumi class that glyph falls into, and which other glyphs will share the spacing rules with it, is necessary if the rules for proportional are to share the mojikumi classes with the traditional rules. If the same amount of space is not added to all members of a given mojikumi class, the application will likely have problems adding the wrong amount of space to glyphs that differ.
