Hraban and Hans, I thank you for your answers!

Recalculating the results of invoked Luacode functions might be the best
and simplest choice, because finding a good hash key for a lua table which
must be created by the ConTeXt/Luacode program page itself could become rather
difficult (one could get into devil's kitchen, as we say). On the other side
one single lua table only for the current run, similar to .tuc files, is helpful
and necessary to have a look onto the results of the used luacode functions.
Sometimes they are the only help in error finding.

Rudolf
