What happened to \hidewidth? It looks as if it disappeared. See the
accompanying MWE.
However, searching the ConTeXt source I find it used in enco-ini.mkiv, defined
in syst-ini.mkiv, but commented out in syst-ini.mkxl.
Why is that? It seems a harmless definition, and its body is even used twice in
enco-ini.mkxl.
I dare say, with all due respect, it is not pleasant (and a waste of time) to
find working code suddenly broken because of leftout macro's. And I feel lucky
to not having used \ialign, because something similar happened to it.
\hidewidth is a plain tex thing that is unlikely to work well with other
code
\ialign is also something plain and as it sets everycr as well as
tabskip and also can interfere
you can define these macros yourself and hope for the best wrt
interference but i'm not going to look into such interferences
