I do not completely understand why this command is needed. I think that
the intent of amstex is that the user should use \dotsb for dots between
binary operators and then change \dotsb to \cdots or \ldots depending on
convention. If so, we need to add them to \setupmathematics or perhaps add
a new command
\setupmathdots[binary=middle,comma=low,...and others...]
or something similar.
