\namedglyph is too generic; you ask for a \fontglyph\font{name} and even then, there probably is not sucha primitive, but just a lua call which will consult the font data so that one can also take care of missign glyphs
anyhow, such a command needs to be defined for each engine, with proper fallbacks which is not somthing i'm gonna do as a quick hack/fix.
Now, for the moment you can use your definition which you can always (some time in the future) map onto a context one. This way of asking for a glyph is low level anyway.
