dotCooCoo a8a0316da7 Type: Create Outlines keeps the type object's own fills and strokes
Type > Create Outlines dropped the fills and strokes of the type object
itself (the items around the Appearance panel's Characters row), so the
outlines no longer drew what the type drew. On type without effects of
its own, Object > Expand outlines the type with the same command, so it
lost them before Fill or Stroke could expand them.

- Create Outlines puts those items on paths of the type's whole outline:
  the items below the Characters row on one path under the glyph paths,
  the others on one path over them, in their order. Unplaced gradients
  are fixed to the type's layout box, as the canvas paints them.
- object.expand.info reports the type object's own strokes, pattern
  fills and gradient fills, measuring a gradient on the whole outline.
  It counts them only when the type has an outline: type of only spaces
  reports none of them.
- The stroke flag of object.expand.info counts every stroke Outline
  Stroke outlines, not only the topmost one, for paths as well as type.
  Expand skipped Stroke for a visible stroke under a stroke with no
  paint.

Create Outlines still does not carry over the type object's own effects.
