Section 4.2 of Mojca's MyWay on sometxt
http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/sometxt.pdf provides another solution.

Dear All,

>>
And what about proper tables there?
Replacing One\\Two in the above code with
$ \startmathmatrix \NC 1 \NC 1 \NR \NC 1 \NC 1 \NR \stopmathmatrix $
or
\starttable{|cm|cm|} \NC 1 \NC 1 \NC \NR \NC 1 \NC 1 \NC \NR \stoptable
does not work for me.
It complains about "dotripletestemptyx",
but that seems to be some low level utility code and the error messages
say nothing to me :(

All metapost environments expand their arguments, so anything looking for
an optional argument fails. There are workarounds, though
\unexpanded\def\MYMATRIX%
{$\startmathmatrix \NC 1 \NC 1 \NR \NC 1 \NC 1 \NR \stopmathmatrix$}
\starttext
\startMPcode
label.rt(\sometxt{\MYMATRIX}, origin) ;
label.rt(textext ("\MYMATRIX"), (5cm,0)) ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
And if you really want it to work, we need to make cetrain things
unexpandable
\unprotect
\def\dodefinemathmatrix[#1]% [#2]%
{\unexpanded\setvalue{\e!start#1}{\dodoubleempty\dostartmathmatrix[#1]}%
\unexpanded\setvalue{\e!stop #1}{\dostopmathmatrix}%
\setupmathmatrix[#1]}% [#2]
\definemathmatrix[matrix]
\definemathmatrix[\v!mathmatrix]
\unexpanded\def\dodomatrixNC
{\gdef\domatrixNC{\endmath&}}
% To avoid errors in expansion
\let\NC\relax
\let\NR\relax
\protect
Now this works
\starttext
\startMPcode
label.rt(\sometxt{$\startmathmatrix \NC 1 \NC 1 \NR \NC 1 \NC 1 \NR
\stopmathmatrix$}, origin) ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
Hans, should we add this to strc-ali?

sure, i'll also do the same with getbuffer, as often using buffere is
convenient in such cases:
\unexpanded\def\getbuffer
{\dodoubleempty\dogetbuffer}
\starttext
\startbuffer[a]
$\startmathmatrix \NC 1 \NC 1 \NR \NC 1 \NC 1 \NR \stopmathmatrix$
\stopbuffer
\startMPcode
label.rt("\getbuffer[a]",origin) ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

Well, it's a bit more complicated: in mkii, sometxt was the easiest
solution because it was flexible and allowed to include all sorts of
ConTeXt code. In mkiv, textext can do about anything that sometxt can,
and then some more, so in mkiv, sometxt was deprecated. But I think
Mojca has nagged Hans into re-implementing sometxt into mkiv as well.
Complicated, but there you go...
All best
Thomas
