I think the question is the following. Does ConTeXt want to define all commands amstex/amsmath defines?
You need to convince Aditya then as he has to make up that list.
I think that ConTeXt should be feature compatible with amstex; not necessarily syntax compatible. Although syntax compatibility eases the translation of old amstex documents to ConTeXt, it is not a good long term solution.
So, the question remains, is this feature (changing the meaning of \dotsb etc) by authors?
s/by/needed by/? If it takes more than 10 minutes to implement or increases the maintenance burden, I can live without it.
If so, we can add an option to \setupmathematics or a dedicated \setupdots (or something similar) command.
That sounds like a feasible solution. Thanks, Paul
