Oh, I apologise — I’m still using the TL2015 version of LuaTeX and hadn’t caught this news. The \Uhextensible primitive is exactly what I was thinking of (and the other new maths primitives look good as well — thanks!).
Whether \Uvextensible is really necessary is an open question — I’d say that it’d be "good to have” but doesn’t solve as much of a need as the h version.

Quite some code was overhauled - a better split between old and new font as well as some detailed control over extensibles, delimiters etc. - some was added for completeness even if it could be done otherwise. An upcoming TB article will explain/show some.)
Looking forward to it, thanks again.
Cheers,
Will
