I just found that \choose has been replaced with \binom (binomial coefficient):

Sorry for complaining… :-)
no problem ... maybe we should have a wiki page for 'use this instead of

as you're playing with it ... there is a lot we haven't yet introduced 
but we will do that stepwise .. here's one

inline formulas like $(x + a + 2)$ will break across lines but 
traditionally \left( .. \right) doesn't which is why these \bigg things 
are there : manual solution for breaking inline math

however, in lmtx these do break across lines but there are of course 
still cases where the penalties injected will discourage it; there is 
agranular penalty system in place but current it is configured as 
traditional tex

now, when a formula doesn't break and is somehow wrapped it doesn't play 
that well with linebreaks but you can cheat: formulas can becoem liek 
glue where the inter atom stretch and shrink can play a more prominent 
role ... here's a test:

% turning small inline formulas into leaders to that we don't get overflows
% or excessive spacing

There is also a system like widows and orphans in the sense that one can 
set forward and backward penalties, as in:

\setuplayout[width=11cm]

\startbuffer
     \dorecurse {50} {
         test $\darkblue   a +         #1         + b > 2$ %
         test $\darkred    a + b +     #1     + c + d > 2$ %
         test $\darkgreen  a + b + c + #1 + d + e + f > 2$ %
     }
\stopbuffer

\setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch]

\starttext
     \start
         \mathforwardpenalties  0
         \mathbackwardpenalties 0
         \getbuffer
         \par
     \stop
     \page
     \start
         \mathforwardpenalties  2 -200 -100
         \mathbackwardpenalties 2 -100  -50
         \getbuffer
         \par
     \stop
     \page
     \start
         \mathforwardpenalties  2  200 100
         \mathbackwardpenalties 2  100  50
         \getbuffer
         \par
     \stop
     \page
\stoptext

but we currently don't have a high level interface for that; it will be 
part of the more general math penalties setup.

These are just a few of the things to play with.
