Wouldn't it be slow for larger documents? I will try anyway. By the way,
I've seen Lua(La)TeX users recurring to callbacks (process input buffer) to
make string replacements and I've done so myself sometimes. Does ConTeXt do
preprocessing the same way or is a better alternative possible? Thank you
very much.

Jairo :)
