There seems something very much amiss with \halign in later ConTeXt versions.
This typesets fine in PlainTeX and is an example taken from a textbook.
\tabskip=1em\halign{%
\hfil\it#\hfil&\hfil#\hfil&#&\hfil#\crA&B&C&D\cr}
Also in contextversion 2012.05.30 (from a TeXlive distribution).
But it fails at least in ConTeXt ver: 2013.03.20 10:34 MKIV
and in ConTeXt ver: 2013.04.16 12:08 MKIV beta
with the following error
! Only one # is allowed per tab.
system > tex > error on line 5 in file fixedwidth.tex: Only one # is allowed per tab ...
1 \starttext
2 contextversion=\contextversion\par
3 \tabskip=1em
4 \halign{%
5 >> \hfil\it#\hfil&\hfil#\hfil&#&\hfil#\cr
6 A&B&C&D\cr}
7 \stoptext
l.5 \hfil\it#\hfil&\hfil#
\hfil&#&\hfil#\cr
Why? How primitive it may be, I would like to use \halign now and then.

The error message is misleading because the problem is & and not #.
One of the changes for MkIV was to make _, ^ and & normal characters
in the document (the first two still works for math). For code writing this
doesn’t matter because & has it’s normal meaning when you use
\unprotect … \protect but it can’t be used in the document.

I see, it is either the nuisance of having to type \& etc. in the text, or the nuisance of having to wrap everything like \halign in \unprotect..\protect and then resorting to \& again.
At least there is nothing amiss with \halign itself, which is reassuring. However, I do not feel secure with these little deviations from the orginal TeX.

There seems to be more to it:
This works:
\unprotect\halign{\hfil\it#\hfil&\hfil#\hfil&#&\hfil#\hfil\cr
A&B&C&D\cr A&BB&CCCC&DDDDDDDD\cr}\protect
But these generate a missing } after the \halign:
\unprotect\framed{\halign{\hfil\it#\hfil&\hfil#\hfil&#&\hfil#\hfil\cr
A&B&C&D\cr A&BB&CCCC&DDDDDDDD\cr}}\protect
\framed{\unprotect\halign{\hfil\it#\hfil&\hfil#\hfil&#&\hfil#\hfil\cr
A&B&C&D\cr A&BB&CCCC&DDDDDDDD\cr}\protect}
Is such a construction (now) impossible?

\framed can use a \hbox or a \vbox to place the content, by default it uses a \hbox
but when you set the correct value for the align key it uses a \vbox.

orinal tex permits to set the catcodes so you need to define 'original tex'
anyhow, you can use \aligntab and \alignhash which wee introduced in
luatex for this purpose
which reminds me that one of these days on the context dev list we
should discuss this one
\catcode`€=\mathshiftcatcode
\starttext
€e=mc^2€
\stoptext
for typesetting math with continental style presets.

And maybe make it default whenever one wishes to use comma as a decimal separator :)

Sifting through my TeX-mailbox, I came along this post of Wolfgang Schuster and decided to try all variations given to the align parameter on \framed.
Curious in which cases the \hbox and in which the \vbox is chosen, not unimportant of course.
I did this by typesetting \hbox{abc}\hbox{xyz} inside a framed. For \hbox want expects abcxyz as output and for \vbox abc and below it xyz. As can be seen in the first two examples.
To my surprise none of the \framed[align=..] options exhibits \vbox character!
Thus my question: has the behaviour of \framed[align=..] changed in the mean time? Three years is of course an eternity when seen in the perspective of the speed with which ConTeXt is evolving 😃. Or is there another reason why the \vbox effect is not shown in any of the examples?
I am enclosing a minmal example and its output. Just curious.

\framed adds a \strut at the begin and end of the content.

Thanks.
I redid the examples with the autostrut parameter set to respectively yes and no. In the former case I see all have an hbox and in the latter case all have a vbox. So it seems not the align, but the strut being the one determining the box variant.

Sifting through my TeX-mailbox, I came along this post of Wolfgang Schuster and decided to try all variations given to the align parameter on \framed.
Curious in which cases the \hbox and in which the \vbox is chosen, not unimportant of course.
I did this by typesetting \hbox{abc}\hbox{xyz} inside a framed. For \hbox want expects abcxyz as output and for \vbox abc and below it xyz. As can be seen in the first two examples.
To my surprise none of the \framed[align=..] options exhibits \vbox character!
Thus my question: has the behaviour of \framed[align=..] changed in the mean time? Three years is of course an eternity when seen in the perspective of the speed with which ConTeXt is evolving 😃. Or is there another reason why the \vbox effect is not shown in any of the examples?
\framed adds a \strut at the begin and end of the content.
\starttext
\vbox{\hbox{First}\hbox{Second}}
\vbox{\strut\hbox{First}\hbox{Second}}
\framed[align=flushleft]{\hbox{First}\hbox{Second}}
\framed[align=flushleft,strut=no,autostrut=no]{\hbox{First}\hbox{Second}}
\stoptext

No, the align settings determines the box type. The \strut at the begin
forces horizontal mode which results in both \hbox’es in the same line.
\starttext
\ifvmode Vertical \else Horizontal \fi mode
\strut
\ifvmode Vertical \else Horizontal \fi mode

Thanks.

No, the align settings determines the box type. The \strut at the begin forces horizontal mode which results in both \hbox’es in the same line.
Ok. But when using "strut=no,autostrut=no" I see for all values of align the abc/xyz below each other and none having abcxyz. Doesn't that suggest that all boxes are vbox and that the strut merely forces horizontal mode? Otherwise I do not understand what happens.
Thus I did the experiment again, for all options with \framed[strut=no,autostrut=no,align=OPTION]{\ifvmode V\else H\f.
I found a V at the front of the output in each and every case.
\starttext
\ifvmode Vertical \else Horizontal \fi mode
\strut
\ifvmode Vertical \else Horizontal \fi mode
\stoptext

Yes, when you set a value for the width key you always get a \vbox.
