Is there a reason not to use userdata.myluadimension? Or is document.myluadimension safe,
because myluadimension is almost certainly not an entry used by ConTeXt? Is using
document.myluadimension better "style" here, in some sense? Somewhere I had
gotten the idea that if a ConTeXt user wanted to store something in Lua, they ought to
store it in the userdata namespace.
Sure. Actually the document namespace has some functions so there is
more danger in a clash there, so userdata is better.
