The following information was provided by our fellow contributor:

Name of contribution: fontwrap
Author's name: Mike "Pomax" Kamermans
Location on CTAN: /macros/xetex/latex/fontwrap
Summary description: fontwrap lets you bind fonts to specific unicode 
  blocks, for automatic font tagging of multilingual text
License type: gpl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For everyone who writes multilingual texts, fontwrap makes the hassle 
of adding language changing or font changing macros a lot easier by 
dispensing with having you add them in your text altogether. Just tell 
the package which fonts to use for which Unicode blocks or groups (such 
as the Hebrew block, or all Latin blocks) and wrap your text in the 
fontwrap macro (requires UTF8 input, but then when don't you save 
a multilingual file in UTF8 anymore these days?)
