SIMPLE problem is not compatible with plainTeX philosophy.
then you might prefer the luatex-plain format, it has the
fontloader already built in, so no style files unless you require
them explicitly. This code just works, provided you have the
fonts:
\font\lmr=file:lmroman10-regular at 12pt
\font\cmur=file:cmunrm at 12pt
{\lmr \input knuth\par}
{\cmur \input knuth\par}
\bye

surely, a true plain-philosopher would load plain.tex and dump it...
... and then find it was useless, and go back to original tex with none
of those silly e-tex extensions, even.

Sory, I am developer of macros, I don't do it for my own prosperity. I
explicitly need the *interface* between your activity and my activity.
This interface is (from my point of view) a good documented features of
LuaTeX at low level. The recommendation "use xy.sty" is totally unusable
for me.
Yes, people like simple solutions and one of such simple solutions is my
macro http://petr.olsak.net/opmac.html. In order to develop this macro
to cooperate with LuaTeX, I need the good documentation and explicitly
formulated interface, not the bad words about hairs on the chest.
