While you're at it, check \usesubpath as well. I didn't test, but assume it has the same issue.
uses the same code
As this is quite counterintuitive, I’d like to wikify any known exceptions somewhere over here:
How about unifying the interface? IMO that would make more sense then bury the “caveats” somewhere deep in the wiki.
that's currently not feasable for all
What's the reason? Performance of backwards compatibility?
more that we cannot use the regular parser
Personally, I would sacrifice some runtime in favour of a more uniform interface. That's one of the main ideas that define ConTeXt and set it apart from other TeX macro packages.
if you have completed the list i can see what can be done otherwise (runtime is often not the reason esp not for macros that get used only a few times in a run)
Regarding the backwards compatibility, wasn't MkIV the chance to introduce incompatible changes (changes for improving the user interface :)?
