I totally agree with you, more ever I hop that at some point in the
future, just selecting certain language will be enough to get proper
display of it, some thing like:
\mainlanguage[arabic]
\startext
أهلا بالعالم!
\stoptext
to some extend that can already be done with dynamic features but it
needs more research etc
\setupbodyfont[arabic=foo,latin=bar]
for that we have the fallbacks mechanism; of course one can mix any font
but even then it always demands tuning, i.e. foo and bar can look
completely weird when combined without relative scaling (which is what
the fallbacks do: thereone chooses one main font and overlays other
fonts properly scaled)
