Sorry for following up to my own post, but I found a couple of
definitions in nath.sty (Nath is a wonderful LaTeX package) which
might be pertinent:

It is my understanding that this shouldn't be too hard to port to
contest: \o@math is simply the "original" TeX $, the afterparse@,
\ifsp@, \ifsb@ do a lookahead to see if superscripts and
subscripts are used, and in case use them.
Would it be hard to port this to ConTeXt?
