4 At the time of writing this answer, XeLaTeX is very far from LuaLaTeX in multilingual typesetting. I provide the following example which can be run with both XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. The objective is to typeset a multilingual document involving four languages. 1) English (main) 2) Malayalam 3) Marathi 4) Hindi. We use fonts already distributed with TeX Live. Tested with fully updated TeX Live 2024 (full installation). Marathi and Hindi share the same scripts, but differ in some typographic conventions. Especially with respect to two characters `ल` and `श`.

7 In LaTeX2e, the line between macros which are strictly internal, those that are programmatic interfaces and those that are design/document commands is not firmly drawn. This arose in part as the number of control sequences available was very limited when LaTeX2e was developed: as such, something like providing both `\IfPackageAtLeastTF` and `\@ifpackagelater` was simply not feasible: as such, the 'internal' macro `\@ifpackagelater` was _the_ way to make this test for many years.

1 You can use `\setlength{\cftsubsecindent}{...}` to change the indentation for subsection entries (the exact value in the example below might need fine-tuning, I just picked it by eye):
