I have tried to find some predefined code in ConTeXt to do the
equivalent of the 'nicefrace' package for LaTeX. This, basically,
involves typesetting a fraction as:

    1/
    /2

This is scaled down somewhat to make it fairly close to the size of the
surrounding text and positioned such that the spacing between the
numbers and the dividing slash is quite tight.

I can do this myself using raise, lower and kern operations, but it
would be nicer and (presumably) much more reliable if written by someone
who knew more about TeX character layout than I do.


I only have a need for this in running text, incidentally, and don't
care at all about math mode.
