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? won't change .. maybe you have to define # somehow? or replace that one in the mf source
