escape option for highlight

[ousia]

Hi Christoph,

would it be possible that the highlight module also accepts the escape option?

Such as in (copied from the mailing list):

\starttext

\starttyping[escape=yes]
This is /BTEX\bf formatted/ETEX text.
\stoptyping

\starttyping[escape={<<,>>}]
This is <<\bf formatted>> text.
\stoptyping

\starttyping[escape={<!--,-->}]
This is <!--\bf formatted--> text.
\stoptyping

\stoptext

Many thanks for your help
