I was wondering, since luatex is not a direct replacement of pdftex,
omega or aleph, what is the point of having such primitives? Wouldn't it
be more cleaner of they are removed or is there any use for them?
It may be that Yannis and other omega users still need them. luatex used
be a direct replacement for aleph (well, almost), so that with little
mods one could run an aleph file once upon a time....
The translation filters already have been removed a while ago so old
omega code will not run as expected. Also, the number of directions has
been limited (after we discussed it with John at eurotex).
