No doubt that's why spam for medication is so popular: you need
the medication to cope with the rest of the spam.

Likewise!

The correct way would be to define swiss as a language, because
then you can put a suitable redefinition inside the language
specifics, but the following hack will work as well and is a lot
faster to implement (please don't tell anyone I proposed this):

   \enableregime[il1]
   \let\normalssharp\ssharp
   \def\ssharp{\doifmodeelse{swiss}{ss}{\normalssharp}}
   \starttext
   {\enablemode[swiss] Grüßlis} Grüßlis
   \stoptext

Cheers, Taco
