Is there a global way to insert a very thin (ca 1pt) unbreakable space before a right guillemet and after a left guillemet when the main language and character spacing are English, so that “«” and “»” in my source file are processed properly?

The font that I am using puts them too close to the enclosed characters (typically, Greek). Basically, I need to borrow the French spacing for these two characters but have not been able to figure out how to do this from the ConTeXt source files.

\definecharacterspacing [alan]

\setupcharacterspacing [alan] ["00AB] [right=.1,alternative=1] \setupcharacterspacing [alan] ["00BB] [left=.1,alternative=1]

\starttext

text «text» text

\setcharacterspacing[alan]

text «text» text

\stoptext
