Dear gang,

Sometimes I use the following for simple substitutions:

\defineactivecharacter  '  {\otfchar{quoteright}}

But is there a more general mechanism to do things

\definesubstitution{<string1>}{<string2>}

eg

\definesubstitution{--}{–}

Of course ConTeXt already provides this particular substitution but I'm  
interested in such a mechanism for more general purposes.

Best wishes
Idris
