hm, so you can't actually use etex goodies unless you emulate them

I'll add dummies then but be aware that you actually should test for the
primitives that you expect because I'm not even sure if luatex bumped
the number. As you mention "all" it means that you expect differences
because "all" implies differences here. What if someone runs a very old
(experimental) etex.
(\scantokens, \readline, \detokenize, \savingvdiscards are likely to be
untouched .. it depends on what primitives you expect to use)
