Something like that, yes. But it depends a little on what you
want to do: because \currentmainlanguage expands, you will
get the value that is active during the first scan of the
lua code block, which may not be what you want, but it is hard
to judge without the actual use case.

Yes, agreed, something like that would be useful. The same applies to
some other things, like color and active modes. Some of these are
probably there already, but it would be nice if they were documented.


Best wishes,
