Dear Team,
it is a common convention in luatex that dimensions are specified either
as a number (in scaled points) or a string with unit included. But
unless I'm blind, there is no helper function that converts string
dimension to a number. Seems that there is a standard dimen_to_number()
function for that purpose. Would be convenient to have such on aboard.
If I make such a helper, will you consider adding it to a repo? I'm
thinking of
tex.sp'1in' -> 4736286
tex.sp() -> error argument must be a string
or more general
tex.unit('1in', 'cm') -> 2.54
wdyt?
