Hi,
Found an interesting sometxt misfeature.
\startMPinclusions
boolean test ; test=true ;
\stopMPinclusions
\startbuffer[test]
if test :
label(\sometxt{True}, origin) ;
fi ;
label(\sometxt{False}, (10,10)) ;
\stopbuffer
\processMPbuffer[test]
\blank[big]
\startMPinitializations
test := false ;
\stopMPinitializations
\processMPbuffer[test]
Too bad context cannnot parse metapost syntax :)
Workaround (ugly)
\startTeXtexts
\TeXtext{1000}{True}
\stopTeXtexts
\startbuffer[test]
if test :
label(sometxt(1000), origin) ;
fi ;
label(\sometxt{False}, (10,10)) ;
\stopbuffer
\processMPbuffer[test]

Another workaround, slightly less ugly (as long as you count the
number of \sometxt in the if part.
\startbuffer[test]
if test :
label(\sometxt{True}, origin) ;
else :
txtnext := txtnext + 1 ;
fi ;
label(\sometxt{False}, (10,10)) ;
\stopbuffer
\processMPbuffer[test]

picture p ; p := label(\sometxt{True}, origin) ;
if test then
draw p ;
fi ;
label(\sometxt{False}, (10,10)) ;
