[NTG-context] Hyphenation of chemical names

ConTeXt has troubles hyphenating chemical names, which in organic chemistry can be funny things such as N-(4-n-alkoxybenzylidene)-4’-alkylaniline. The names can get much worse... The rules for hyphenating in chemistry are well defined. Without putting specific hyphenating hints into the names the
