Reading about macro bundles meant to be generic (format agnostic), some of
them work in plain/LaTeX, but crash when loaded on ConTeXt. The following
happens with xstring.tex
tex error > tex error on line 372 in file xstring.tex: ! Illegal parameter
number in definition of \xs_reserved_C

You meant to type ## instead of #, right? Or maybe a } was forgotten
somewhere
earlier, and things are all screwed up? I'm going to assume that you meant
##.
I've tried changing the catcode regime, but with no effect.
Don't misunderstand me. I'm aware of ConTeXt capabilities and string
manipulation via Lua. My question is more like: "Why doesn't xstring.tex?"
Sorry if my question is outside the scope of ConTeXt
developers/maintainers. Thank you very much.
Jairo :)
