 You might find \LUA\ helpers that are not yet documented. These are considered
 experimental, although when you encounter them in a \CONTEXT\ version that has
 been around for a while you can assume that they will stay. Of course it can just
 be that we forgot to document them yet.

+A manual like this is not really meant as tutorial, for that we refer to

+it. That being said, we hope that this document is useful.
