Hi,

how can I write the following two lines with Lua, I saw in supp-box.lua a few 
example how to loop through the characters but I don’t know how I can add glue 
between them.

\starttext

\ruledhbox to 6cm{\processtokens{\hfil }{\hfil\hfil}{\hfil }{}{WORD}}

\ruledhbox to 6cm{\processtokens{\relax}{\hfil\hfil}{\relax}{}{WORD}}

\def\HFILLED#1{\hfil#1\hfil}

\ruledhbox to 6cm{\applytocharacters\HFILLED{WORD}}
\ruledhbox to 6cm{\hfilneg\applytocharacters\HFILLED{WORD}\hfilneg}

\stoptext

\startluacode
function commands.ws_hfilled(str)
    context.hfil()
    for c in string.utfcharacters(str) do
        context(c)
        context.hfil()
    end
end
\stopluacode

\enabletrackers[context.trace]

\def\HFILLED#1{\ctxcommand{ws_hfilled("#1")}}

\ruledhbox to 6cm{\HFILLED{WORD}}
\ruledhbox to 6cm{\hfilneg\HFILLED{WORD}\hfilneg}
