Subject: Re: Restoring/switching paper size?

Hello,

thank you for the patch.

A solution which would not require named page sizes might be better as we don't necessary need to know the name of the "previous" (or "pushed") paper size (mostly we use "anonymous" page sizes, set up once in the document preamble).

Thus push/pop way would be a bit more flexible (like \pushpagebackground / \poppagebackground);
or making paper size local (enclosing paper setup into group - \start \setupppapersize ... \stop\page) would restore the previous paper size.

Thank you anyway.

Best regards

Lukas
