well, it has been the case for ages ... other commands also have a
different meaning, like \language, and \unexpanded is actually in tex
speak \protected (but we had an \unexpanded long before that one showed
up) and \\expanded is a macro in context and a primitive in tex ... etc
as Wolfgang pointed out: use \normaldate
