We've already got \setdigitmode, \setdigitorder, and \setdigitspace; it might make sense to create a \setupdigits to consolidate these setups into one interface. Something like this:
\setupdigits
[mode=4, % -->\setdigitmode{4}
% (decimal period, thinspace between groups)
inputdecimalmark={,}, % -->\setdigitorder{0} signspace=yes, % -->\setdigitsign{1}; '+ 1.4', not '+1.4' times=\times, % or times=\cdot ]

P.s: I've been thinking I'd like to write more contexty interface that doesn't use predefined modes, but lets you setup the decimal mark, separator mark, the input decimal mark, etc. Something like this:
\setupdigits
[inputdecimal={.}, % input 3.1415926535
decimal={,} separator=\space, groupsize=4, % output 3,1415 9265 45 signspace=,] % +3.14159...
That could even tie into \setuplanguage to allow setting language-specific defaults. Would anyone be interested in this?
+1 again!
needs a bit of thinking as when we start this route we get lots of new keywords (with the danger of introducing inconsistencies) so first we need to collect all potential candidates for such keys (e.g. using separator might be too generic )
I don't know if it is possible and can not estimate how much work it
represents but maybe one can consider to merge the digit part of the \digits
and \unit code.
The \unit command would then use the same code as the \digit one to format the
digit part. Then, the \unit code would use a specific code to format the unit
part.
This would make it possible to configure the digit formatting with one unique
command for both \unit and \digit and another command would be used to
configure the formating of the unit part.
