The situation for the alternates in greextra is a bit different (but
only a little bit).  However, the case of the stropha applies to only
one font.  However, depending on how we do this, there's really not much
difference.

I suspect no one has used the current variants in a very long time, or
they would have gotten some weird output because the font didn't match
the hard-coded code points.  There was also a missing \fi which would
have only caused a problem if someone tried to change the variant style
within a single document.  (These problems are already fixed in develop,
by the way)

Henry
