Problem with \type in captions

Problem with \type in captions

[Nikolai Weibull]

\starttext
\placefigure
  {\type{0|}}
  {}
\stoptext

gives me

! Argument of \next has an extra }.
<inserted text>
                \par
<to be read again>
                   }
<argument> ...p {\strutdepth }\begstrut \type {0|}
                                                  \endstrut \endgraf
\doattributes ...sname #1#2\@EA \endcsname \fi {#4
                                                  }\dostopattributes
\putcompletecaption ...trut #3\endstrut \endgraf }
                                                  \fi \dostopattributes
\docheckcaptioncontent ...ecaption {#4}{#2}{#3}{0}
                                                  }\ifdim \wd \tempcaptionbo...
...
l.4   {}

Remove the 0 and it works fine.  Is there a quick fix?,

that's because the caption is passed as an argument and the catcode is frozen 
then (being active, the | expects something |...| ; try \type{0}\type{|} since 
the first token of type is not expanded at all

Yeah, that will work.  The problem is, though, that I'd really like it
to be in one \type as I am actually using something called \TypedRegex
that delimits the regular expression argument with "quotes".

I guess I could fake the quotes and use the split-\type trick,

\definetype[regexp][option=RAW]

\starttext

\type{0|}

\section{test \regexp{0|} test}

\stoptext

this will trigger a pretty printing filter, and in this case the | is part of 
the deal

Another problem with \type , and a werid accent

[Taco Hoekwater]

Try this, using new (LM) ConTeXt:

\starttext
\type{--}
L'abbaye
\stoptext
