Can't we add a new mode to ConTeXt to use $ and & in text

Also add # to the list. Basically, we can just define a catcode regime
where only \ { and } are special. Inside math mode (activated by
\formula, \math, \mathematics, or \startformula) we can switch to a
catcode regime where _ and ^ are also set to appropriate catcodes. I
there is already \nonknuthmode -)
would go as far as to say that we should make this default, but I don't
think everyone will like that. So, for me a \justwritenaturally macro
will do :-)
we can discuss this some time next year or so; it is slightly more
complex than changing a few catcoded because we need to make sure that
modules etc are loaded under a different catcode regime then
