no, we had \expanded (and \protected and \unexpanded and ...) long 
before they showed up as primitives

when \expanded was added, it was agreed that that name could be used 
even if it clashed with context internals; ok, it add confusion for 
users who use low level code, but as we always have \normalexpanded in 
context it's no big deal; when in doubt, use \normal* for primitives (or 
\primitive\expanded)
