I doubt it, because (a) the plain method of adding 2 ems worth of shrinkable
space fails in a lot of circumstances, and given that ConTeXt has some
complexity behind it you can never be sure exactly what circumstance you're
in, and (b) the above produces left-aligned, not right-aligned text.

:)

therefore ... the context low level \raggedright is indeed more complex, and takes care of things like narrow typesetting as well,
