looks like i don't update something, i'll fix it (probably bin later today)

btw, you can do this:

         local h, t, pil, pir, pfl, pfr = tex.preparelinebreak(new_head)
         inspect(pfr)
         pfr.stretchorder = 0
         pfr.stretch = 0

as well as use

	tex.show(broken)

to see the result
