It is common to express certain numerals with the suffixes st, nd, rd, th, with the suffix in a smaller type and raised about .5em eg: 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th.

It is of course possible to cobble these expressions up in macros. But it would be handy if they were built in to Context.

Any thoughts?

I just do

\def\ST\high{st} etc. Is that unacceptable?
