[NTG-context] Dumb quotes and dashes, globally and in verbatim text

so i want to use ' and -- in my code, which is embedded via \starttyping \stoptyping, but that’s impossible. context replaces -- with – and ' with ’. that’s wrong. i need to be able to tell context it shouldn’t do any “smart” stuff, since i’m smart enough to press the ’-key if i want the character ’. so what i ask for: 1. we should change the standard behavior of context to “don’t replace --, ' and whatnot in verbatim areas” 2. we should be able to trigger this globally, for people who have a useful keyboard layout and can type “special” characters as fast as ascii. is the latter already built in somehow?
