OK, let's see if I get you right: I remove from mathastext.sty
all "luatex" prefixes, but also I need to add 

   \directlua{
     tex.enableprimitives("", tex.extraprimitives("Umath"))
   }

to mathastext.sty if it detects luatex, 

so as to be sure the new version of the package will work also
with older LaTeX releases ?

is that right ?

best,

Jean-François
