Description
In need of a project to learn Rust and without knowing about norad, I created a glif parser with lazy and eager options a couple months back. It is available here, currently without support for multiple layers and several other deficiencies.
Since there seems to be little interest in my project, I was wondering whether norad is still being maintained, and whether there is any interest here in adopting some of the code of ufo-gleaner.
I haven't done any thorough profiling, but ufo-gleaner seems to provide a substantial efficiency boost for individual GLIF files, and at least a minor one for the entire GLIF set.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked ufo-gleaner project and its lazy and eager GLIF parsing approaches, then compare them with norad's current capabilities. Establish the scope, including multiple-layer support and the claimed efficiency gains; done should be a profiled, integrated implementation with those deficiencies addressed.
