Can't we add a new mode to ConTeXt to use $ and & in text without escaping them with a backslash, & is not needed to write tables and for inline math \formula could be used.
Also add # to the list. Basically, we can just define a catcode regime where only \ { and } are special. Inside math mode (activated by \formula, \math, \mathematics, or \startformula) we can switch to a catcode regime where _ and ^ are also set to appropriate catcodes. I would go as far as to say that we should make this default, but I don't think everyone will like that. So, for me a \justwritenaturally macro will do :-) Aditya
