it binds to Serif i.e. the left part of the definefontsynonym (used to 
be a complex sometimes left/right thing)

but it should work out well because eventually it's bound to greekSerif

an option indeed it to delay it and assign it in the \definetypeface

(or use [name:GenAR102*gentiumgreek])

i'm still not sure what is the best way to implement this abstraction
