language specifics

[Hans Hagen <pragma@wxs.nl>]

Hi all, 

There have been some mails on language specifics in dutch, but in croation they also seem to apply. I wonder if we always want those specifics to be the default, since there is no real way to turn them off. So, an option is to add a key to each \setuplanguage, which can be set by the user in cont-sys.tex or in the file itself. On the other hand, this would mean breaking downward compatibility for german and polish, since they default to specifics. The complication is that I probably have to group them (more convenient). 

The main problem is in the weird ones. I have no problem with the "e and alike ones, but using them for compound words and quotes is a bad idea, since context has dedicated alternatives for those, which also have options. To what extend do we need to satisfy habits and features from for instance latex?
