WHen you are in doubt you can do this:

\meaning\in

it will show you that the commands is adapting itself to math mode. 
There are a few such commands with 'clashing' names.

A variant on this is \NC which is the column separator but has a 
different meaning depending on where it's used. That one gets set to 
some meaning in environments.

Another overloaded one is \\ and it could be a space or newline or ...

Actually the last two are candidates for protectiopn against overload.

btw, users can run context with

--overloadmode=warning
--overloadmode=error

to see if their usage of commands or definitions bring conflicts. 
Currently \in is not yet protected against overload but it will be.
