Change the dots of the macro \periods[n]

Change the dots of the macro \periods[n]

Hi,
Is it possible to change the shape of the dots of  macro \periods[n] to be like
the dots of  macro \definefiller[dots][left=\dontleavehmode, right=\hskip\
ZeroPoint\par] ?
Best regards,
Fabrice

You can change the width of each period with the \periodswidth commands.

\starttext

\periods \quad {\def\periodswidth{0.25em}\periods}

\periods \quad {\def\periodswidth{0.50em}\periods}

\periods \quad {\def\periodswidth{0.75em}\periods}

\periods \quad {\def\periodswidth{1.00em}\periods}

\stoptext

% in cont-new.mkiv :

\unprotect

\def\periodsymbol  {.}

\unexpanded\def\enco_periods[#1]%
   {\dontleavehmode
    \hbox\bgroup
    \enco_periods_indeed[#1,\periodsymbol,]}

\unexpanded\def\enco_periods_indeed[#1,#2,#3]%
   {\setbox\scratchbox\hbox to \periodswidth{\hss#2\hss}%
    \dorecurse{\iffirstargument#1\else\periodsdefault\fi}{\copy\scratchbox}%
    \egroup}

\protect

test:

\starttext
     \startlines
         x\periods x
         x\periods[10]x
         x\periods[10,{,}]x
         x\periods[10,{!}]x
     \stoplines
\stoptext

Why the weird syntax, something like \periods[n=10,symbol=!] would fit better.

Hi Hans and Wolfgang,
Thank you for your suggestions. It meets my expectations, but I'll try 
to understand the codes later!
