I agree that my suggestion would sacrifice backwards compatibility.
At the same time I'm not sure how much change to the MkIV kernel is
desirable given that MkII is considered frozen. I'm really in no
position to have an educated opinion on whether there should be as
few changes as possible or rather the occasional clear cut. It's
just that if you guys think that some clear cuts are due for MkIV
anyway then there will probably be never a better time than now to
make module loading more bullet-proof. As I was saying, I'm just
thinking out loud ;-)
MkIV is ConTeXt’s feature without an doubt but it's not so easy as you
think.
I have myself two modules which work only with MkIV (simplefonts and
games) but
bigger ones like simpleslides or letter are just complexer styles and
you can't
expect from a user to upgrade to MkIV just to make a presentation or
to write
a short letter.
I thought about integrating the version check into \setupmodule
because the command
is only used in modules and available in MkII and MkIV but Thomas and
Aditya use it
in the simpleslides module to pass parameters to the module and this a
few times
at different places and not only at the start of the file.
