no, feature. job variables are just key/values and accessible at the
tex end (you store 'works too' in 'bar')
Ok, I wasn’t aware of this restriction.
if you want arbitrary data to be stores you need to used datasets,
as explained in
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definedataset
Hmm, the wiki only covers the TeX macro interface whilst I am
mainly concerned with passing stuff right from the Lua end.
From my reading of core-dat.lua I gather that there is not really
a way to dump any Lua table (array or hash or mixed) via
datasets. Except directly writing to “tobesaved”.
And that is indeed somewhat nasty; I'll add a 'convert' key to the
settings so that you can set raw data at the Lua end.
(I'll send you a Lua file for testing)
