Hello Gurus.
Sorry for OT, but I solve one problem in parallel in ConTeXt and pure LuaTeX too and I got into trouble. I have a problem in LuaTEX with putting macro name into global variables and their re-listing. In ConTeXt, the problem is not with it.

Here is my minimal LuaTeX example:

\directlua{function put2globvar(parameter) globvar=parameter end}
\directlua{function getglobvar() tex.print(globvar) end}

\def\puttoglobvar#1{\directlua{put2globvar('#1')}}
\def\globvar{\directlua{getglobvar()}}

% OK
Text --
\puttoglobvar{Text}
\globvar

% OK
$\alpha$ --
\puttoglobvar{$alpha$}
\globvar

% not working
$\alpha$ --
\puttoglobvar{$\alpha$}
\globvar

% Error ...
%\puttoglobvar{$\\alpha$}
%\globvar


\bye

Can you please advise?

Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar
