+//!
+//! The purpose of a collection is to store a list of fonts by style
+//! and priority order. A collection does not handle searching for font
+//! callbacks, rasterization, etc.
+//!
+//! The collection can contain both loaded and deferred faces. Deferred faces
+//! typically use less memory while still providing some necessary information
+//! such as codepoint support, presentation, etc. This is useful for looking
+//! for fallback fonts as efficiently as possible. For example, when the glyph
+//! "X" is not found, we can quickly search through deferred fonts rather
+//! than loading the font completely.
