Yeah, I haven't been aware of this. On the other hand, the explanation
will become obsolete as soon as there's true Swiss language support.
So, I'll better wait with that.

That makes sense, as long as hyph-utf8 keeps pace with dehyph-exptl. So
far, that has always been the case. (Because of the slow pace of
dehyph-exptl development. There were actually times when dehyph-exptl
didn't keep pace with hyph-utf8 development.)
