Does that mean that if I write
\hyphenation{man-u-script}
"Manuscript" will not be covered?
Yes, exactly. It seemed a reasonable thing to do,
considering that it is considerably easier to add another
exception than it is to prevent an unwanted hyphenation if it
is defined by an exception.
While I don't have an opinion at all on whether this is good or not, won't this
a) break TeX compatibility and
Yeah, sure it does. But LuaTeX's language handling is already
incompatible in other ways, so that is not a big deal.
b) will make existing documents (hyphenation exceptions) "fail" ?
Yes, for example:
bla bla bla. Declination is ....
will not use the standard hyphen.tex exception for "Declination".
Personally, I think this is acceptable. But if there are objections,
I can go back to being case-incensitive, it is not that important.
Best wishes,
Taco
