Subject: handling & compound||words

Hi folks.

I've been wondering if I've been missing something here. When I activate
hanging, the hyphens (or whatever the hyphenmark is set to) in
compound||words refuse to hang. When that happens, it makes the margin
look worse than if there were no hanging.

Is it not implemented yet?
[using pdfeTeX (Web2C 7.3.7x) 3.14159-1.00b-pretest-20020211-2.1]

Here's an example with a bit of nonsense that pretty much forces the issue:

\setupfontsynonym[cmr10][handling=pure]
\setupfontsynonym[Serif][handling=pure]
\setupfonthandling[normal][left=1,right=1]
\usetypescript[cmr]
\setupbodyfont[10pt]
% tried this and many variations:
\setuphyphenmark[sign=-]

\setupalign[hanging]
\starttext
\dorecurse{3}{
I find the very thought of it appalling. I wouldn't describe myself as
stuck||up, up||tight, or snoot||nosed, but neither do I get
down||and||dirty, higgledy||piggledy, loosey||goosey, or left||wing.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
