so, for latex the solution would be (in the latex specific initialization file):
\let\pdfmatch\match \let\match\undefined
That way you get (1) a prefix (one that will not clash with other prefixes) and (2) we keep tex prefix-clean
Yes, that would be possible (e.g. in pdftexconfig.tex in tetex). But it needs a special format and it's non-portable. The reverse would also be possible: \let\match\ptexmatch
maybe one could find a way to enable new primitives, so that they are hidden if not enabled. Maybe removing the primitive name strings from the hash and keeping them somewhere safe until they are required? Like \use\match? A little like in Perl... Regards, Hartmut
