modules or packages for abbreviations for common math commands

Dear ConTeXt folks,


is there a module or a package people have created for common things
used in mathematics.

        `\set{ a, b, c }` for a set.
        `\EV{X}` for the expected value.
        `\P{ X = ½ }` for the probability.
        …

If not, maybe a module could be created and maintained together to not
reinvent the wheel.


Thanks,

Paul

See the mathsets module[1]. The current module does not work with MkIV (I 
need to debug that; most likely due to catcode changes for _ and ^. I am 
planning to reimplement the module using lpeg but that is on a low 
priority.
