Good evening, Hans!


Let me clarify my intention a bit: jobfiles.run calls "context" on the
argument list, but that is not what I need.

My problem is that I generate stuff during the tex run and want to
collect it in a table that is saved to a file at the end of the run.
This data is hashed at the beginning of the document and if the hash
does not match the end-run hash _or_ the file doesn't exist in the first
place, then I'd like to run another independent pass.

(I guess I could use jobfiles.run to process \jobname at the very end of
the document but would have to handle recursion somehow.)
