Pawel: [...]>What's the status of \pdfstrcmp and regexp
stuff; still left experimental? And... Even if they are, meybe it is better to document those features to let people use and test the embryo?..
Hans:
experimental, may even dissappear in favor of lua stuff (taco will start working on that soon)
Aaa, so if luaTeX might *replace* anything, i belive it makes no sense to write even a word. After tracking all the patches some more doubts: 1. '-etex' cmdline switch is already mentioned in 'pdftex --help' but I couldn't force it to work; the option is 'not recognized' during format creation (pdftex-beta, 1.40.0, 13.02.2006 compiled under Cygwin). 2. \ifabsnum, \ifabsdim; eTeX manual or pdfTeX manual? 3. \primitive, \ifprimitive; to be documented or to be replaced with namespaces? 4. \pdfinsertht, experiments with snapping and kerning (patch #415)?
