Hi,
I have found that the metapost `hex` function outputs a strange result
when run through `context`. I'm not quite sure what is leading to this
output, maybe `hex` is redefined in `metafun`?
To reproduce, place the following in test.mp:
```
show hex "8d";
```
Then run `mpost`, which results in the correct value:
```
mpost -numbersystem=double test.mp
...
>> 141
```
Running the following in context results in the following instead:
```
context test.mp
...
>> 56
```
For some more details on tool versions:
ConTeXt: ConTeXt ver: 2025.04.28 14:29 LMTX fmt: 2025.5.7 int:
english/english
Metafun: metafun xl 2025-5-9 11:26
Metapost: version 2.02 (TeX Live 2023) (kpathsea version 6.3.5)
For some reason I couldn't manage to load `metafun` in `mpost` directly
to test it outside of ConTeXt, getting:
```
! I can't open file `metafun.mpii'.
l.6 input metafun.mpii
```
Thanks in advance,
Yann
