> Question. Is this genfrac identical to the one in ams definitions?
AFAIK, yes. The syntax of genfrac is
\genfrac{left-delim}{right-delim}{bar-thickness}{mathstyle}{numberator}{denominator}
in both context and ams. One difference is that in amsmath, for
mathstyle you can use integer vales 0-3 as a shortcut for
\displaystyle, textstyle, scriptstyle and scriptscriptscript style.
Context does not follow this, which I think is a good thing.
