sure, but hardcoding a multiple handler in the luatex kernel does not
solve that problem since one still needs to agree on the order and
priorities then; therefore a solution in lua code (in the macro package)
can provide a similar solution; for context we have such a wrapper
(prioritizer) already [currently rather interwoven] and i suppose that
one can write for latex etc; but the most important aspect is that for a
specific macro package the style writers agree on some order (luatex
cannot solve that for you)
