2. \ifabsnum, \ifabsdim; eTeX manual or pdfTeX manual?
The pdfTeX manual is the right (only) place.
Done.
newest CVS manual with newest cont-tmf.zip stops compiling here with
subsubject      : - Expandable commands
[16.14])
! Incomplete \ifx; all text was ignored after line 2034.
It's caused by \Tex {\ifabsnum}
How to do this?
It seems \type doesn't handle \iffoo ...
yes, this works

\starttext
\def\foo#1{\type{#1}}

{\catcode`\i=12
\foo {\ifabsnum}
}

{\def\ifabsnum{\relax}
\foo {\ifabsnum}
}

\stoptext

but it's ugly.
