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)
