For example:

if char is cyrillic and previouschar is arabic:
   \fontspec{SomeCyrillicFont}
end

And also:

http://wiki.luatex.org/index.php/Token_filter

I'm thinking mainly in short chunks of texts, like a proper noun
inside an Arabic o Devanagari text.

I think pre_linebreak_filte is too late and process_input_buffer
is too soon, but I may be wrong. Or perhaps the best solution is
not based on a callback at all.
