I was wondering: is something similar possible in mkiv yet? I know that with the font fallback mechanism, it's trivial to change fonts for unicode ranges, but is it possible to change hyphenation patterns (or even insert "arbitrary code") according to unicode blocks? Would be quite helpful for those of us working with different scripts.
For latin an unicode block does not relate to a language so it would be broken by design to add such an automatism, however, for a while already it is possible in mkiv to load multiple patterns. See mixed-001.tex in the test suits \setuplanguage[ru][patterns={ru,us}] \setuplanguage[en][patterns={us,ru}] \setuplanguage[de][patterns={de,ru}] I suppose that greek can also be happily mixed in as well (I suppose that's what you want).
