I’m starting to understand that one cannot have it all.

I haven’t used so much Lua code to add an undefined TeX command in a
comment.

Different reply isn’t wrong, only it needs to be known in advance.

I have discovered after the addition that this was explained before
(last paragraph from
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Programming_in_LuaTeX#Calling_Lua_from_TeX).

To emphasize it visually, I abused the <blockquote> element.

If any wiki wizard knows better, please tell.

Many thanks for your help,
