The names \alpha \beta etc are currently hardcoded in char-def. The
only way to change them is to move mathname="alpha" from 0x1D6FC to

glyphs).
Hans, we need to think of mechanism to switch between upright and
italic greek letters for the macros.
ok. actually, it's not that hard to do, and i'd also provide an 0x1D6FC
-> 0x03B1 and vise versa transformation then (on unicode chars) ... so,
you can start thinking about proper names for the commands (\ugreek,
\igreek or so); are there more such up/it things?
I was thinking in a global way to switch upright math on/off, my use
case is that on day when we have Euler OpenType, users can use the font
and switch math to upright symbols globally without altering existing
math formulas.
an upcoming beta will provide such a feature
\usetypescript[cambria]\setupbodyfont[cambria]
\startTEXpage
$\alpha \mathgreekupright \alpha \mathgreekitalic \alpha$
\stopTEXpage
and also:
\setupmathematics[greek=normal|italic|none]
but first aditya and i need to agree on the names and complete the
related greek vector
