We need to define the named instances for the upcoming release.

@m4rc1e where are the best docs on this topic lately?

(Related issues in Amstelvar Alpha era are #14 and #16)

Just to review where this was left before, a menu can get ridiculously crowded if optical sizes and italic need to be included in it. So the question in my mind at the conclusion of Alpha naming is e]weqther to detect opsz and italic automation, or bury everyone in named instances?

I.e. i want to help and name thin, light, regular, medium, bold, extra-bold, and black, along with condensed, narrow, normal, wide, and expanded, as 35 named instances, and leave optical size and italic out of it. I’f rather name none, if I have to name 70, or worse, 210, (35 style x 2 for italic x 3 optical sizes).
