Here is a proof of concept implementation in Lua + MP so that you can use:
\ContourPlot
   [
     function=2*x^5 + x*y + y^5,
     x={0, 2},
     y={-2, 0.5},
     n=1000, % Number of discretization points
   ]
The code is fairly fast. But be careful. As with all ConTeXt key-value 
assignment, `x = { ...}` is different from `x={...}`. I am being a bit 
lazy here, and haven't adapted the metapost code to draw the axes to adapt 
to the function.
Hans and I played with Aditya's demonstration, to complete the example.
It demonstrates some fun lua+MP+ConTeXt tricks:
