I agree with the optional alternative. If LuaMetaTeX goes (c)leaner, it can get rid of obsolete constructions made for a pre-Unicode world. Some are already angry with primitives gone and I think that's positive, but it's only my opinion.

Hi,

As I'm going over the commands in lmtx, I wonder if we should keep

\c
\d
\k
\r
\u
\v

\"
\'
\`
\^

etc ... the ones that make 'composed characters'. I think that anyone
who needs them uses utf . They can be in (say) m-oldschool.mkxl or so.

Objections? Hurt feelings? Sentiments?

Hans
