I respectfully disagree.  I am advocating the philosophically correct
approach, requiring a small amount of work by a small number of people
-- those responsible for eTeX, PdfTeX and XeTeX :  I assume that LuaTeX
can already handle this, as opposed to an inelegant and inefficient
work-around which may require a considerable amount of work by an
unknown but potentially somewhat larger set of people -- those
responsible for the various now-and-future front-ends to *TeX.
