What's the difference with a language with no patterns?
context to luatex, even if it was tempting) but anyhow ... i'll make it an option (not to be used by formats other than context then) ... all other behavior of the hyphenator other than whatever generic is, will stay
What about a new primitive (or lua function) for setting the language with the behaviour you intended for \language=0? Javier
