WHen you are in doubt you can do this:
\meaning\in
it will show you that the commands is adapting itself to math mode.
There are a few such commands with 'clashing' names.
A variant on this is \NC which is the column separator but has a
different meaning depending on where it's used. That one gets set to
some meaning in environments.
Another overloaded one is \\ and it could be a space or newline or ...
Actually the last two are candidates for protectiopn against overload.
btw, users can run context with
--overloadmode=warning
--overloadmode=error
to see if their usage of commands or definitions bring conflicts.
Currently \in is not yet protected against overload but it will be.
