Research direction

Start with the attached wrong_layer_bounds_with_nested_component.glyphs.zip file and reproduce the bounds discrepancy described for quotedblright, quotedblleft, and comma. Compare glyphLib's returned origin and size with the GlyphsApp values; done means the double-nested component produces matching bounds.
