That is why I believe that we should have some means to share must of the lower level Lua code across macro packages. For instance writing 2 or 3 OpenType layout modules is a waste of time, is it a big task of its own especially if you want to cover all scripts, there exists 3 free OpenType implementations and only one gets it almost right.
