[NTG-context] Equivalent for hdots and hdotsfor

In LaTeX, I can use \hdots for horizontal dots and \hdotsfor{n} to fill for
several columns in a determinant. But these do not work in ConTeXt. What is
the equivalent for these in ConTeXt?

Never mind, I found the solution on list that we can use \dotfill and
\multispan{n}{\dotfill} as a substitute for what I have asked for.

Can you show the desired output from LaTeX with a PDF file and a minimal 
example of your ConTeXt version.

You can try \HF or \HF[n].

\startTEXpage[offset=1DK]
\dm{
\startnamedmatrix[matrix:bars]
\NC 1 \NC x \NC x^2 \NC \ldots \NC x^{n-1} \NR
\NC 1 \NC y \NC y^2 \NC \ldots \NC y^{n-1} \NR
\HF[3] \NR
\NC 1 \NC z \NC z^2 \NC \ldots \NC z^{n-1} \NR
\stopnamedmatrix
}
\stopTEXpage
