Hello,

is there a way to detect by Lua what is the size (width and height) of the last 
shipped page?

Especially I'm interested in the situation when page via \start/\stopTEXpage 
has been shipped, like:

----
\startluacode
  LastPageSize = function()
    -- What to come here?
    return w, h
  end
\stopluacode

\starttext
  \startluacode
     local w, h = LastPageSize()

     context("w="..w .. ", h=" ..h) -- Should give "w=210mm, h=297mm" (or other 
units)
  \stopluacode

  \startTEXpage[with=10cm,height=15cm]
  \stopTEXpage

  \startluacode
     local w, h = LastPageSize()

     context("w="..w .. ", h=" ..h) -- Should give "w=100mm, h=150mm" (or other 
units)
  \stopluacode
\stoptext
----

This would be very useful when I need to insert a page of size of the last page 
to move to odd page when A4 and A3 pages are mixed, to allow simple duplex 
printing on the printer.

So - how about 'LastPageSize()' function?

Best regards,

Lukas
