[NTG-context] problem with symbols in index

[NTG-context] problem with symbols in index

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

I hunted for two days after an index error in my book:

"""
structure       > sectioning > chapter @ level 2 : 0.1 -> Sachregister
tex error       > tex error on line 95 in file ./prd_test.tex: The file 
ended when scanning an argument.

{\startregisterentries {1}\startregisterentry {0}\registerentry 
{index}{}{21}{}{[[special cmd: lua call]]}\startregisterpages 
\registeronepage {index}{}{21}{2}{[[special cmd: lua 
call]]}\stopregisterpages \stopregisterentry \stopregisterentries 
\stopregistersection \stopregisteroutput \relax \stopmixedcolumns \else 
\strc_registers_place_indeed {index}\fi \endgroup \fi \stopchapter \par 
\par \par \par \par \stopproduct
"""

It boiled down to \index{\%} that used to work but doesn’t any more in 
current LMTX.

Also, "context --purge" doesn’t delete the tuc file (don’t know if that 
changed), so the wrong entry stuck in there, and my code changes didn’t 
affect it.

MWE:

\starttext
%\index{\%}
\index[ ]{\backslash}
\index[ ]{\percent}
\index[ ]{\tex{}}
\index[ ]{\tex{}\tex{}}
\index[ ]{\tex{\%}}

\page
\completeindex

\stoptext

For my command index, \index[something]{\tex{something}} works, but is 
there a better way to put \\ in there than \index[ ]{\tex{}\tex{}} ?
