luatex 1.10 will have that (as it take s bit of effort to enter al the 
data which i'm doing as part of some other cleanups)

anyway, you can do:

local n = node.new("noad") n.subtype = node.subtypes("noad").bin print(n)

local n = node.new("noad") n.subtype = node.subtypes("noad").rel print(n)

there was never a need to look into a 'w' file, also because sometimes 
subtypes get added we provided this list

node.subtypes("noad").bin
returns a number
