A very insignificant observation. But in my opinion Hans Hagen is a
perfectionist, therefore I dare to throw this bone to him.
In Dutch the greatest common divisor is not abbreviated as "gcd" but
as "ggd".
It is of course a simple matter to redefine this locally with:
\definemathcommand [gcd] [limop] {\mfunction{ggd}}
But the perfectionist would likely expect this to happen
automagically on \language[nl].
Just mentioned this for fun, don't bother too much.
yours sincerely,
dr. H. van der Meer

localizing math is indeed an interesting topic.
\startlanguagespecifics[nl]
\definemathcommand [gcd] [limop] {\mfunction{ggd}}
\stoplanguagespecifics
but ... then we need to be complete
