    This module deals with access to some if the internal quantities of \TEX, like registers,
    internal variables and all kind of lists. Because we provide access by name and/or number
    (index) there is quite a bit of code here, and sometimes if can look a bit confusing.

    The code here differs from \LUATEX\ in the sense that there are some more checks, a bit
    more abstraction, more access and better performance. What we see here is the result of
    years of experimenting and usage in \CONTEXT.

    A remark about some of the special node lists that one can query: because some start with
    a so called |temp| node, we have to set the |prev| link to |nil| because otherwise at the
    \LUA\ end we expose that |temp| node and users are not supposed to touch them! In the setter
    no |prev| link is set so we can presume that it's not used later on anyway; this is because
    original \TEX\ has no |prev| links.

    There is still room for improvement but I'll deal with that when I have a reason (read: when
    I need something).

    We don't reallocate (and share) key references for strings that are only used in functions
    that report values used as there's little gain. This will be cleaned up as we go.

    Due to the nature of the accessors, this is the module with most metatables. However, we
    provide getters and setters too. Users can choose what they like most. If needed we can use
    fast metatable resolvers but there is no real need.

    The rope model dates from the time that we had multiple \LUA\ instances so probably we can
    simplify it a bit. On the other hand, it works, and also is upgraded for nodes, tokens and some
    caching, so there is no real need to change anything now. A complication is anyway that input
    states can nest and any change can mess it up.

    We use a flag to indicate the kind of data that we are dealing with:

    \starttabulate
    \NC 0 \NC string \NC \NR
    \NC 1 \NC char   \NC \NR
    \NC 2 \NC token  \NC \NR
    \NC 3 \NC node   \NC \NR
    \stoptabulate

    By treating simple \ASCII\ characters special we prevent mallocs. We also pack small strings if
    only because we have the room available anyway (due to padding).

    For quite a while we used to have this:

    \starttyping
    typedef struct spindle_char {
        unsigned char c1, c2, c3, c4;
    } spindle_char;

    typedef union spindle_data {
        spindle_char c;
        halfword      h;
    } spindle_data;
    \stopttyping

    The spindle and rope terminology was introduced by Taco early in the development of \LUATEX,
    but in the meantime the data structures have been adapted to deal with tokens and nodes. There
    are also quite some optimizations in performance and memory usage (e.g. for small strings and
    single characters).

    When testing all these math finetuning options we needed to typeset the box contents and
    instead of filtering from the log or piping the log to a file, this more ssd friendly
    feature was added. The first argument is a box (id) and the second an optional detail
    directive. This is (currently) the only case where we write to a \LUA\ buffer, but I
    might add variants for a macro and tokenlist at some point (less interesting).
