Hi,

why does \usemodule load the requested file with “prtcatcodes” settings
when nearly each module has \unprotect and \protect at the begin and
end of the file?

I ask this because of a recent question [1] on the list where a user
defined shortcuts for math. Maybe a module isn’t the perfect thing
for these things and he can put them in a environment but now comes
the next problem.

When you load a environment in this way:

   \environment myenvironment
   \starttext
   …
   \stoptext

the file is loaded again with prtcatcodes while in the following form

   \startproduct myproduct
   \environment myenvironment
   …
   \stopproduct

the environment is loaded with ctxcatcodes. While prtcatcodes make sense
for a module i can’t understand why they are used for environments.

much of this goes back a long time .. we used to have only m-* and styles were normally environments; and when defining interface independent environments unprotect makes sense ... we can consider removing that (but then need to check for environments on our machines that use ! etc)
