Hi Hans,

Using node.setglue in LuaMetaTeX sets all of the glue components to
zero.

This example:

    \startluacode
        local stretch_order = "stretch_order"
        local shrink_order = "shrink_order"
        if status.luatex_engine == "luametatex" then
            stretch_order = "stretchorder"
            shrink_order  ="shrinkorder"
        end
local glue = node.new "glue"
        print(node.getglue(glue))
        node.setglue(glue, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
        print(node.getglue(glue))
        glue.width = 1
        glue.stretch = 2
        glue.shrink = 3
        glue[stretch_order] = 4
        glue[shrink_order] = 5
        print(node.getglue(glue))
        node.setglue(glue, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
        print(node.getglue(glue))
    \stopluacode

produces this output in MkIV:

    0       0       0       0       0
    1       2       3       4       5
    1       2       3       4       5
    1       2       3       4       5
but this output in MkXL:

    0       0       0       0       0
    0       0       0       0       0
    1       2       3       4       5
    0       0       0       0       0
it is unrelated to luametatex in the sense that it doesn't have that setter, so we emulate it in node-cmp.lmt:

function node.setglue   (n,...) return setglue   (todirect(n),...) end

but even then you won't get the '5' as bad values are intercepted ... i'll also add some extra checks to those field setters
