Why do you use the language trick and not just \nohyphens?

Re: [NTG-context] Type-setting filenames
I am using \filename to type-set filenames. Some of these are very long (greater than 30 characters) and overhang the right hand margin, sometimes even disappearing off the edge of the page. The first line break is just before the full stop. There are usually plenty of spaces in the names. Can I get ConTeXt to put a line-break into filenames?

[NTG-context] Type-setting filenames
Hello, Can anyone suggest a good way of type-setting filenames in ConTeXt? They are usually long with few spaces and so often overhang the right-hand margin and even fall off the edge of the page. They also often include backslashes and underscores which I have to manually change - very tedious. Is there, for example, a command which handles some or all of my problems?
