Never give up ...

\starttext

     \setvariable{test}{something}{HHHH}

     \getvariable{test}{something}\par

     \meaning\getvariable

     \startluacode
 
print(">>",tokens.getters.macro(tokens.getters.macro("??variables") .. 
"test:something"))
     \stopluacode

     \def\MyVariableSomething{JJJJ}

     \startluacode
         print(">>",tokens.getters.macro("MyVariableSomething"))
     \stopluacode

\stoptext
