Hi Hans,
Lately, I am doing quite a lot of work with CLD, and sometimes I do not
trust my Lua code completely. To allow some rudimentary debugging,
I have patched my local  cldf-ini.lua to contain this:
local dumpfile = io.open('dumpfile.txt', 'w')
local function flush (z,...)
    if type(z) == 'number' then
       dumpfile:write(string.format('%02d ', z))
    else
       dumpfile:write('   ')
       dumpfile:write(z)
    end
    for _,v in ipairs({...}) do
       dumpfile:write (v)
    end
    dumpfile:write ('\n')
    texsprint(z,...)
end
instead of the normal
local flush = texsprint
That way, I can look in dumpfile.txt to make sure that the correct ConTeXt
code is generated. Is there any chance that you could offer a
tracker/messaging
feature with similar functionality? Patching cldf-ini.lua is not nice ;)
