The code for luaotfload is taken from ConTeXt. A high level interface
like fontspec is not so hard (see simplefonts) and the information you
need for optical sized fonts (like Latin Modern or Minion Pro) are there
since November last year, e.g. this is the entry for LM Roman 12

   {
    designsize=120,
    familyname="latinmodernroman",
    filename="lmroman12-regular.otf",
    fontname="lmroman12regular",
    format="otf",
    fullname="lmroman12regular",
    maxsize=140,
    minsize=110,
    modifiers="12regular",
    rawname="LMRoman12-Regular",
    style="normal",
    subfamily="regular",
    variant="normal",
    weight="normal",
    width="normal",
   },

Possible with internal commands but you can run into problems with
the user commands, a problem is also how LaTeX handle environments

For \begin{env} LaTeX expects a macro with the name \<env> end for
\end{env} a macro with the name \end<env>.
