Is there a simple way to get both root signs in this MWE to be the same size?

Make the quantities whose roots are being taken to be of the same size.
\starttext
% The simplest solution:
\startformula
\sqrt[3]{4n} \ne \sqrt[3] {\vphantom{4} n}
\stopformula
% More general
% \strut = \vphantom{(}, which is too big
\startformula
\sqrt[3]{\strut 4n} \ne \sqrt[3] {\strut n}

% We can define our own phantom sizes. You can play around with the numbers.

This is for Aditya to think about

we can have strut but also think of enforcing ht / dp
(or we can have minima but that i'd rather add some options to the
engine - we already have some but i never came to apply them yet)
