[NTG-context] strange \v!on

[Hans van der Meer]

Well, obviously I interpreted the use of \V!-macros wrong.
I understood it being the ConTeXt way of making command strings  
language independent, as in for example.
	      \c!corner=\v!rectangular
Using code like this in a setup-getparameters combination.

The article "Context System macros part1" <by the way is er a part @? 
 > provided the inspiration (example on page 11). Since I am adapting  
an old plaintex -> latex macro pack now -> context I thought it handy  
to put in that independence, as seems to come for free.

Clearly I am not grasping the real meaning. Will you enlighten me? If  
it doesn't takes to much of your time to explain.
