I believe in ConTeXt you'd usually(?) use \start and \stop instead of
\bgroup and \egroup, though. What do the experts say about this?
I've seen \start \stop pairs in some examples, but there are so many of
them in sources that I can not find their definition.
Doing a \show\start in a document finds a definition for \start as
\docomplexorsimple \complexstart \simplestart; grepping for
'def\\complexstart' (the \\ being the shell escape for \) finds the
definition of that in core-sys.tex.
In any case, \start expands (in a somewhat complex way to \bgroup, while
\start[<something>] appears to expand to \startsomething. \stop does
something similar.
Given this, I don't think there's any reason not to use \bgroup and \egroup
if that's what you mean.
