Wouldn't it be slow for larger documents? I will try anyway. By the way, I've seen Lua(La)TeX users recurring to callbacks (process input buffer) to make string replacements and I've done so myself sometimes. Does ConTeXt do preprocessing the same way or is a better alternative possible? Thank you very much.

where arguments come before. The only partial exceptions are commands like \atop or \over, which are in fact primitives. Is there a way to do this in ConTeXt?
you can build a lpeg and parse the your "extended tex" source, obtaining a valid tex source.
