  Right, I hadn't thought of that.  Then that's probably no solution as
far as Babel is concerned; and in Polyglossia there already is a
solution.

  Obviously, that's out of the question.

  That might be useful in case one needs to use both scripts in the same
document, but that's a different issue, and that still doesn't solve the
problem we have in Babel.

  I think they should be considered two different languages with two
different sets of patterns, and the user should use the same
switching mechanism as between two different languages.

  I don't really see the advantage of introducing a new "language" just
for that purpose.
