Subject: math: root sign an square brackets set too closely

Dear ConTeXt folks,


using the root sign √ `\sqrt` and the square brackets [] the distance
does not seem to be optimal.

        \starttext
        
        \type{$\left[ \sqrt{x} \right]$}: $\left[ \sqrt{x} \right]$
        
        Without \type{\left} and \type{\right}: $[\sqrt{x}]$
        
        \type{$\left( \sqrt{x} \right)$}: $\left( \sqrt{x} \right)$
        
        With \type{\,}: \type{$\left[ \sqrt{x}\, \right]$}: $\left[ \sqrt{x}\, \right]$
        
        \placeformula
        \startformula
        \left[ \sqrt{x} \right]
        \stopformula
        
        \CONTEXT\ \contextmark\ \contextversion
        \stoptext

I am using the following version.

        ConTeXt  ver: 2011.11.25 21:29 MKIV  fmt: 2011.11.25  int: english/english

Is that a TeX limitation or should that be type set “correctly” automatically?


Thanks,

Paul
