What's the safe way to make \def's local to a component? I could wrap each component in a \begingroup..\endgroup but that might do bad things to the output routine. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.

Thanks, that works. A small example, in case others find it useful: \starttext \def\y{outside\par} \y \pushmacro\y \def\y{inside\par} \y \popmacro\y \y \stoptext which produces outside inside outside -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.
