Okay, I understand it... meschugge ;-)  For Randy's problem
L-S2-V2 we could (ab)use L-S2 as a prefix of V2, and S1 as
an "suppress_script" for L.  I don't see a solution allowing
to suppress S2 for L only in conjunction with V2.

Unless we'd allow a "suppress_script" in the variant entry to
overrule the normal "suppress_script".  But is this needed
anywhere ?  The "suppress" kludge is for compatibility with
existing 3066 content and implementations, not for hypothetical
L-V2 cases.

Apparently a good idea.  Bye, Frank
