I used to use it to insert tags without all the crud around it. So for
example a revision id directly from CVS looks like this "$Revision:
1.4$" (no quotes) and I used to use \RCSRevision which would expand to
just "1.4". It's probably quote simple, but would require research (I
have but merely scratched the surface of TeX/Context).

Yes, this is how I found out about context, via an article in TUGBoat.
