%D The only complication lays in \type{\strut}. In \PLAIN\ \TEX\ a \type{\strut} is
%D defined as:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \def\strut%
%D   {\relax\ifmmode\copy\strutbox\else\unhcopy\strutbox\fi}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D But what is a \type {\strut}? Normally it's a rule of width zero, but when made
%D visual, it's a rule and a negative skip. The mechanism for putting things in the
%D margins described here cannot handle this situation very well. One characteristic
%D of \type {\strut} is that the \type {\unhcopy} results in entering horizontal
%D mode, which in return leads to some indentation.
%D
%D To serve our purpose a bit better, the macro \type {\strut} can be redefined as:
%D \starttyping
%D \def\strut
%D   {\relax\ifmmode\else\hskip0pt\fi\copy\strutbox}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D Or more compatible:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \def\strut
%D   {\relax\ifmmode
%D      \copy\strutbox
%D    \else
%D      \bgroup\setbox\strutbox=\hbox{\box\strutbox}\unhcopy\strutbox\egroup
%D    \fi}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D In \CONTEXT\ however we save some processing time by putting an extra \type
%D {\hbox} around the \type {\strutbox}.
