What about an analog of "ucs" LaTeX package,
when Unicode math subscripts (and other symbols) in TeX file are replaced
by "\sub{3}" etc., regardless of the font used for typesetting?
It will give WYSIWYG-like appearance of the input file on the screen
in the editor using Unicode font and will not bring the mess deep into
ConTeXt?
Is such thing doable?
(Not making a set of mappings for presonal use, but proper package
for public consumption?)
Sincerely, Michail
