Can we please talk in English, at least in addition to posting the
code and hoping that it explains your ideas clearly enough?  Because I
really don't understand the idea.  Apologies if the idea is lost in
this discussion that spans many moons.

Is the idea to expect the users to have all the grammar libraries
installed when they use an Emacs which was built with Tree-Sitter?
Because your code seems to only test the latter, or so it seems.  If
so, I don't think it's an idea to which I'd agree.  E.g., imagine a
user who installed Emacs from some distro which decided to build with
Tree-Sitter, but doesn't provide all the grammar libraries we require,
for whatever reasons.

A minor nit: I don't see how c-ts-mode will be invoked under your
proposal.  What did I miss?
