Hello,
Yet Another Proposal (I think I already went over this, or maybe
not, whatever).
Some users (me, but I just discovered I'm not the only one) like
to be able to switch font style/weight/size/whatever without
touching the other characteristics.
For example: triggering a \bf within the scope of an \it should
actually call \bi, and conversely. Or, boldfacing or italicizing a
Caps font (yes, I know it's a typographical horror).
(BTW, no Upright Italic in ConTeXt?)

you can do that using the low level yet undocumented but feel free to
document them (one example per macro will do) macros:
\setcurrentfont
\setcurrentfontbody
\setcurrentfontstyle
\setcurrentfontbodyalternative
\setcurrentfontalternative
\setcurrentfontsize
\setcurrentfontstylealternative
\setcurrentfontstylesize
\setcurrentfontalternativesize
\setcurrentfontstylealternativesize
>Caps font (yes, I know it's a typographical horror).
then why ask?
>(BTW, no Upright Italic in ConTeXt?)
no, never felt the need -)

Are there also \getcurrentfont<whatever> counterparts?
