close to impossible to implement expandable (unless we can delegate to lua but that would demand expansion at the lua end)

Hi Hans,

Could you explain please, why it's important to be expandable?

TIA, Peter

i assume that you want to use it in assignments, like width=\widthof{abc} in which care a dimension has to be returned by \widthof

in fact, for a while we do already have this:

\widthofstring{test test}

which is good enough for 'text only' cases
