Yep, now it finally works. Certainly it requires a few more lines. I was
going to rewrite some TikZ code which was too dependent on LaTeX and
xstring was the last stone on the shoe. Thank you a lot, Phelype and
Wolfgang (I didn't know about push/popmacro either and now it's in my to-do
readings).

Thank, Wolfgang! Both methods work, but both fail with the following
example:
\pushmacro\unexpanded
\let\unexpanded\normalunexpanded
\input xstring
\popmacro\unexpanded
\starttext
\StrGobbleLeft{bcdef}{4}
\stoptext
The log says:
tex error > tex error on line 6 in file ./tests.tex: ! This can't

Oops, forgot about that one.

Hi Jairo,
ConTeXt's \unexpanded is e-TeX's \protected, so the error boils down to
something like: \edef\x{\unexpanded{#}}, which works in Plain but not in
ConTeXt.
Usually packages that claim to be generic have to cope with that.
xstring would
I've tried with a wrapper and it seems to work fine. However, changing
definitions "on the fly" to make xstring usable seems to break things in
ConTeXt... Whatever. I guess I will have to find out other command
redefinitions in ConTeXt.
Thank you very much, Phelype.
Jairo :)

Hi Jairo,
ConTeXt's \unexpanded is e-TeX's \protected, so the error boils down to
something like: \edef\x{\unexpanded{#}}, which works in Plain but not in
ConTeXt.

xstring would need to do (in a ConTeXt-specific loader):
Reading about macro bundles meant to be generic (format agnostic), some of
them work in plain/LaTeX, but crash when loaded on ConTeXt. The following
happens with xstring.tex
tex error > tex error on line 372 in file xstring.tex: ! Illegal parameter
number in definition of \xs_reserved_C
