It is possible to get the symbol : COLON U+003A to expand to \colon, instead of
the ratio operator, as it is now? The latter is rather rare in pure math, and
in addition, it seems to have been reversed in the implementation with ∶ RATIO
U+2236, cf. example below.
\setupbodyfont[xits,10pt]
\startformula
\startalign
\NC f\NC\colon A→B \NR % Produces ∶ RATIO U+2236
\NC f\NC: A→B \NR % : COLON U+003A
\NC f\NC ∶ A→B \NR % ∶ RATIO U+2236
\stopalign
\stopformula
it's a commented option i.e. we decided not to do that because the
normal colon would be obscured then (just like overloading a period is
not realistic)
