Output routines extending \plainoutput

The lua-widow-control package, for plain LuaT E X/ LuaL A T E X/ConT E Xt/OpT E X, removes widows and orphans without any user intervention.Using the power of LuaT E X, it does so without stretching any glue or shortening any pages or columns.Instead, luawidow-control automatically lengthens a paragraph on a page or column where a widow or orphan would otherwise occur.To use lua-widow-control, all that most users need do is place \usepackage{lua-widow-control} in their preamble.No further changes are required.
