Brief outline of the enhancement

LaTeX2e generally cannot add new features without an extreme amount of care to accommodate backwards compatibility. Please do not be offended if your request is closed for being infeasible.

Added in 2020-10-01 and documented in texdoc ltfilehook-doc, the functionality provided by \disable@package@load{<package>}{<alternate-code>} looks very useful to third-party classes, see for example T-F-S/tcolorbox#273 (comment).

From their current doc, it seems to me \disable@package@load and \reenable@package@load are ready to be used by third-party classes, since it's a little boring that only standard classes can make use of them.

But considering they are documented in section titled "Internal interfaces for LaTeX", I open this issue to ask the current status of their usability.

The heading is a bit unfortunate. The intention was to distinguish this from the file hooks which have applications for users while these commands arereally for the kernel, classes or packages (and therefore also have @ in their names). And, of course, they have only few use cases and should not be used to disable or replace something unnecessarily. But yes they can be used.

I have updated the documentation to better reflect this.

* initial commit of l3sys-query package

* missing section and other comments raised by @FrankMittelbach

* add examples section

* editorial rewording, and code comments

* updated documentation for #1292
also fixed type in in change entry for amsmath

* Update l3backend, l3kernel and xparse to 2024-03-14

* Load TeX Gyre Termes by filename

We seem to have a luaotfload cache issue otherwise.

* Update luaotfload and lualibs

* .tlg changes

* Revert "Load TeX Gyre Termes by filename"

This reverts commit 03f8a34.

May or may not work ... lets see!

* Update unicode-data to 2023-09-18

* Unicode file details show in .tlg files

* Update lua-uni-alogs

* Update graphics-def to 2022-09-22

* Drop local copy of KOMA

* thus
