Replacing \ensuremath above with \mathematics gives an error (both
attempts):
\newcommand{\bit}[2]{\mathematics{\hbox{\tf #1}_\hbox{\tf #2}}}
\newcommand{\bit}[2]{\mathematics{{\hbox{\tf #1}_\hbox{\tf #2
you now say something like
text_\hbox
and since _ kind of takes an argument, it gets an hbox only; you need
text_{\hbox{..}}
as in:
\def\bit#1#2{\mathematics{\hbox{\tf#1}_{\hbox{\tf#2
\bit{1}{2}

I modeled this after the LaTeX sources because I had to move on:
\newcommand{\ensuremath}[1]{\ifmmode\expandafter\FirtsOfOne%
\else\expandafter\EnsuredMath\fi} \long\def\FirstOfOne#1{#1}
\long\def\EnsuredMath#1{$\relax#1$}

This is probably not satisfying, because you probably want to get new
mathematics commands working, but if this is to be used solely in text,
you could use (or expand to):
b\low{off}
\low (and \hi and \lohi) look like they work robustly in both math and
text modes.
I'm a bit confused by you using \newcommand in your (ConTeXt?) examples,
though...

I'll see. I wonder if it will look the same. Especially in terms of
font. Do I get the same font in both sides? Do I get the same kerning?

Yes, strange, isn't it? It just works. I copied one accidentally over
and it worked. So I kept using it.
