Do you have a example?
\starttext
\startluacode
   if true then;
     context("true")
   else;
     context("false")
   end
\stopluacode
\stoptext
that is no Lua syntax
I thought that semicolons were optional in lua are equal to end of lines.

The control structures if, while, and repeat have the usual meaning and
familiar syntax:

stat ::= while exp do block end
stat ::= repeat block until exp
stat ::= if exp then block {elseif exp then block} [else block] end

(as conseguence
if exp then; block else; block end
is not valid
