Description
glyphsLib should populate the `` element in MutatorMath instances when an instance renames glyphs. See https://github.com/googlei18n/fontmake/issues/257 for an example where the instance “Montserrat Alternates” in [Montserrat.glyphs](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JulietaUla/Montserrat/master/sources/Montserrat.glyphs) uses a custom parameter “Rename Glyphs”.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing how glyphsLib generates MutatorMath instances and how the custom “Rename Glyphs” parameter is represented. Use the Montserrat example and linked fontmake issue as the reproduction case; done means instances with renamed glyphs have the corresponding element populated.
