There is a nasty problem when defining the \date.
First approach:
*** > macro:->\date
\def\thedate{\date}\writestatus{***}{\meaning\thedate}
Alas, I get lateron a luatex error on \date:
! LuaTeX error [string "\directlua "]:1: invalid escape sequence near '\d'.
Second approach, use \edef to get an expanded value.
\edef\thedate{\date}\writestatus{***}{\meaning\thedate}
*** > macro:->\date
Alas, the date is still the unexpanded macro and not something like 20 march
2013.
How to?
