So, what's the general recommendation? Which approach is the best in your 
opinion? (In case it's the \replaceword approach: do you think you'll have time 
to look into this?) 

I've seen in an older thread that the best way to deal with this would be in 
the hyphenator. What do you think about this now, a couple of years later?

And, while we're at it: how do you deal with words like "begrifflich" where 
you'll want the ff ligature, but not the ffl ligature.
I've tried this
\replaceword[ligs][begrifflich][begri{ffl}ich]
But this breaks the ligature completely. 
\replaceword[ligs][begrifflich][begrif{fl}ich] is not correct either (doesn't 
do anything).

Or with exceptions:
\startexceptions[de]
begri{ff-}{l}{ffl}(ff\zwnj l)ich
\stopexceptions

But that also breaks the ligature completely.
