Are such macros possible ?
modes: ma, mb, ... mz
values: va, vb, ... vz
command: cmd
parameter: p
(1) instead of
\doifmode{ma}{\cmd[name][va]}
\doifmode{mb}{\cmd[name][vb]}
....
\doifmode{mz}{\cmd[name][vz]}
a macro which does: \doifmode{m*}{\cmd[name][v*]}
(2) instead of
\doifmode{ma}{\cmd[p=va]}
\doifmode{mb}{\cmd[p=vb]}
....
\doifmode{mz}{\cmd[p=vz]}
a macro which does: \doifmode{m*}{\cmd[p=v*]}
nl, because there is no knowledge of what modes are set (i could cook
something up for mkiv or course)
Is there something like, or the equivalent of, one/two dimensional arrays in
(Con)TeXt ?
array1={ma, mb, ... mz}
array2={va, vb, ... vz}
comma separated lists are used at several spots

but usage really depends on the problem to be solved
