When using input like the following with xetex then harfbuzz kicks
in and one would always get the good looking precomposed U+1EA0 for
the A and the decomposed B+U+0323 for the B.

With context (and lualatex) one get a rather bad looking -- as the
dot is misplaced -- output for the A^^^^0323 input and no output at
all for ^^^^1e04. 

As the coverage for precomposed glyphs varies a lot across fonts
this is rather a nuisance.  Is there a way to get the fontloader
(also the one used by luaotfload) to do a similar substituation as
done by harfbuzz?

\starttext
\catcode`\^= 7
Ạ A^^^^0323  %decomposed input -> U+1EA0 with xetex

Ạ  ^^^^1ea0  %precomposed input 


Ḅ B^^^^0323  %decomposed input

^^^^1e04     %precomposed input -> B+U+0323 with xetex


\stoptext


(I added the ^^-notation to avoid problems with copy&paste)
