[NTG-context] \inch not doing the expected thing (what I expect, anyway).

[Jim <zlists+context@jdvb.ca>]

Hi,

I would expect (*cough*)

\starttext
2\inch
\stoptext

to output something like

2"

with some appropriate typographic symbols following the 2.  Instead, I get
a 2 with a large prime symbol down lower than a prime symbol should be, and
then a second prime symbol at about the correct size and at about the right
distance up from the baseline.


Are my expectations about what \inch should do incorrect?  I do notice that

$2\inch$

does what I expect, but if I have to enter math mode, I may as well type

$2''$ to get what I want.


In summary, is \inch working as intended or it is broken?

Thanks.

                                Jim
