point is if it only work "most of the time" then it is not possible to
use it to do manipulations in lua and turn back a result to TeX for
further processing as on the TeX level 1sp difference may throw you off
badly. And then then the function is fairly pointless.
And I really don't see how to use tex.sp here the result of
node.dimensions appears to be already in sp (whole numbers) the only
issue is that it is off by a few ...
