Hans - just for your info. In some languages there are exactly the
same patterns for ec and texnansi. Despite that, ConTeXt loads
patterns twice, while you could have loaded only ec patterns, and use
the same "instance of patterns" for texnansi encoding. That's not true
for every language, but for some one could spare some memory and
loading/running time.
