Just downloaded and tested, looks nice.
Small bug: It's called lomihi, but the arguments are placed middle/high/low.

For documentation/clarification, is the following correct?
distance = extra kerning, distance between lomihi and preceding character.
up = how much the {hi} arg is raised
down = how much the {low} arg is lowered

Support for the [left] keyword seems to have been dropped, but is
still in the documentation comments.
Perhaps instead support align=..., and turn distance= into kernbefore=
and kernafter=? Sorry about not knowing enough to implement it myself.

Cheers,
Sietse
