in my opinion previewing contradicts symbolic markup (apart maybe from
special subconstructs); anyhow, because context sometimes relies on
multipass info, previewing is no option unless on fast machines
at some point mkiv may provide proper hooks and functionality for
partial previewing (e.g. when we can store intermediate states properly)
