Hi,
I've been trying to use the 'cmarrows' metapost library with ConTeXt/mplib.
Essentially it's a thin wrapper around the cmr metafont sources to get
the arrowheads.
This triggers an incompatibility between mplib and classic mpost/mf:
pt#:=1pt;
In MetaFont/MetaPost pt# is an allowed identifier, but in mplib this
results in a parse error. Unfortunately, pt# is used all over the cmr
sources... would it make sense to allow using this again?
