Is there anything like that in ConTeXt? (I know about \input knuth, \input tufte etc., but that is not exactly what I have in mind, especially when giving a sample of some design to a customer;).) If not (as I suspect), what should I do to write such a module? I expect this shouldn't be too difficult, and I could learn a few things (like using key-value syntax in ConTeXt, for instance); are there any recommendations for people wanting to learn to write a (simple) module for ConTeXt (other than the relevant wiki page)? For example, which existing modules might I want to take and read the source code of?
