It's not just ConTeXt, of course: any change in data loading would also
need to be done for plain, OpTeX, etc., and the probability of agreement

formats, it's just that in LaTeX that's done in format-building and
dumped. We really don't want multiple code paths.)
loading more in the format also creates mor hash colisions, stuff
spreading over memory so less cache hits, duplicate stuff (why unicode
at all when we already have that; i'd just not loaded it) ... as max
explains ... makes little sense in context so just don't waste too much
time on it as there is very little overlap between latex and context
(different worlds)
