\writestatus{loading}{ConTeXt Lua Typesetting / Initialization}

%D This is a prelude to typesetting at the \LUA\ end. The code
%D is already quite old but will only get nice when we are further
%D down the road (close to version 1.00 of \LUATEX). Typesetting in
%D pure \LUA\ sometimes makes sense.
