Re: [NTG-context] Deprecated $…$ for inline math?

I use $…$. And for copying text from one TeX to another (e.g. ConTeXt <—> PlainTex/Latex/Markdown/Jax), it would be a pain if I couldn't. Michael

However, I can see situations where one might want to tighten spacing in order to fit a particular expression within a line or in a table, for example. Here, \math[options]{expression} is a reasonable syntax, yet I cannot foresee ever using the very cryptic \m{} for any reason: it is just plain ugly! (No TeXie would ever find $<expression>$ as ugly...)

I am curious to know if there is ANYONE who types in a lot of math and regularly uses \m{...} or \math{...}. I still use $....$ and use \math{..} or \mathematics{...} only when generating output from lua code: context.math("....") etc. is cleaner than context("$%s$", ...)
