\= macron accent (bar) should not be changed.

\-- is a good suggestion, like insisting, and should not get confused with -- (en dash).

Is there some problem to make it just another option.

\enabledirectives[hyphenators.discretionary=hyphenated|nothyphenated]

or maybe some key is \setuplanguages (what key)

Why not, but this would be somewhat obscure for the average user who would have to identify and then set this option in all documents...

The \-- extension is kind-of nice, obscure in its own way but good functionally. The risk is of users confusing this with the en ligature, something that unicode users avoid...

Maybe implement both solutions (setup affecting \- as well as \--) in Context?

And what about \– (U+2013)? Steffen
