analog of \hdotsfor command

analog of \hdotsfor command

[Vladimir Lomov]

Hi.

Is there analog of \hdotsfor command in context (mkiv)?

The description of \hdotsfor command is in amsldoc.pdf[1] on page 11.

I don't think there is an equivalent context macro. But hdotsfor should 
just be a combination of \span\omit + \hdotfill. So, just copying the 
definition from amsmath.sty should work.

We need to think of a good syntax for matrices in ConTeXt to handle such 
things.

The command \hdotfill is not defined (in TeX Live 2010 context with
updates from tlcontrib.metatex.org and in context minimal).

I looked into this definition and think that it uses some LaTeX
commands. I could convert it to context but I'd like to have test
files, so not right now.

Command \start/stopmatrix is good enough, but you mean matrix as
visual representation.
