Some old nuisance still present in the latest beta: the use of \Angstrom.
\usemodule[units]
\starttext
Genau 1 \Angstrom
\stoptext
causes this error message:
! Please use \mathaccent for accents in math mode.
\@default@textring ->\char

\dobuildtextaccent ...{\let \char \normalaccent #1

Strangely, I noticed that \Angstrom is defined without loading the unit
module. And in this case, it behaves as expected...

For the moment, patch m-units with an \hbox:
... [Angstrom] {\hbox{\Aring}} {\Aring ngstr\"om}

Works for the moment. But let me remind you that using an \hbox is not a
good permanent solution: it will not adapt its size when used in
fractions etc.
And to insist: why is \Angstrom defined without the unit module, and in
a different way than by the module?
