Most of the pages in this section
(https://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros) are outdated and some
parts either don't work anymore or there are better ways to do it. You
should keep in mind the pages are based on an article Taco wrote 2002
for MAPS.
The solution is to get rid of the old commands and focus on LuaTeX and
LuaMetaTeX solutions because the second allows different TeX code. The
following example shows one of these differences.
% LuaTeX
\def\mycommand
{\ifxxx
\expandafter\mycommanda
\else\ifyyy
\doubleexpandafter\mycommandb
\else
\doubleexpandafter\mycommandc
\fi\fi}
% LuametaTeX
\def\mycommand
{\ifxxx
\expandafter\mycommanda
\orelse\ifyyy
\expandafter\mycommandb
\else
\expandafter\mycommandc
\fi}
