Hi,

See the following example:

\starttext
\startMPcode
u = 1cm;
xmin = -2.6u;
xmax = 4u;
drawarrow (xmin,0)--(xmax,0);
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

It can be compiled rightly. But when I add the 'label' line into it, see:

\starttext
\startMPcode
u = 1cm;
xmin = -2.6u;
xmax = 4u;
drawarrow (xmin,0)--(xmax,0);
label.lft("hello",(0, 0));
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

Now it can not be compiled and luatex outputs:

mplib           : loading 'metafun.mp' (experimental metapost version two)
mplib           > mp terminal: ! Redundant equation.
<to be read again>
                   ;
<*> u = 1cm;
             xmin = -2.6u; xmax = 4u; drawarrow (xmin,0)--(xmax,0); label.lf...

! Redundant equation.
<to be read again>

Is this a bug or it always need to use 'save' macro to hold these
local variable in metafun?
