As far as I can see, \nonknuthmode_ or \nonknuthmode{_} produces a wider _
than
\textunderscore{} does.

Yesterday I played a bit with emacs' muse mode which has option to
'publish' to ConTeXt, but its output was wailing when texeexec-ing due
to use of \textunderscore (option in muse).
Why does \textunderscore wail? \textunderscore should work fine.
Today I discussed the issue on muse mailing list, got help and the
following remark: '...Context gurus don't seem to imagine you can use
_ elsewhere than in math mode btw'.
:) This is how it is done in plain TeX, and both LaTeX and ConTeXt follow
this. If you do not use maths at all, you can say
\catcode`\_ = 11
on the top of your file and then _ will be a letter in both text and math
mode (which basically means that you will have to use \sb to get subscript
in math mode.
It is possible to define something along the lines of underscore.sty in
latex, so that _ is treated as a letter in text mode, and as a subscript
indicator in math mode, but, read below.
I looked at ConTeXt docs (excursion and manual), as well as wiki on
contextgarden, but was not able to find more about what is the status
of underscore '_' char in ConTeXt and is the above remark true?
My usage of '_' in muse document was for preparing tables of some
library functions and, as it is often the case in software, there is
usually some prefix for all library functions as eg. gtk_x for GTK+
toolkit.
Shouldn't such function names be written as \type{gtk_} when muse
converts the document to ConTeXt? In that case the _ will be preserved.

I do not remember having ever problem with underscore in LaTeX.

Right. They will fix default in muse and use \type{_} as value for
underscore.
Thank you for your input.

This is just a mistake of the parser. Either _ should be translated to
\textunderscore (\textunderscore followed by a space) or more precisely
by \textunderscore{} or \_ .

Read the documentation of underscore.sty and you will know the trouble of
using underscore in LaTeX (some of those are true for ConTeXt also).

No, the default should either be \_ or \letterunderscore{} (with the
brackets). \type{_} will be influenced by \setuptype (or \setuptyping) and
can give colored output also.
