Hi,
I’ll be happy to play around with extending the register code, assuming 
that is ok with Hans and that not someone else is also working on this?
Sure. At some point I'll adapt registers (structure in general) a bit 
more to lmtx features (I currently kind of go stepwise through groups of 
files, also in the process of checking luametatex stuff) so in the 
meantime you can play with new register stuff because that doesn't 
interfere much I guess and you probably don't care if I then add some to 
that (maybe wolfgang also has some pending ideas) and we have Rik to 
test all of it.

What i normally do in such a case is copy the existing file to:

strc-reg-new.mkxk

and in context.mkxl:

\doifelsefileexists{strc-reg-new.mkxl}
   {\input{strc-reg-new.mkxl}}
   {\input{strc-reg.mkxl}}

That way it doesn't interfere with the existing code. Then when all is 
ok I eventually merge and double check. (I can add that if needed.)

List,
I am trying to create an index with both "see" and "see also" cross-reference entries.[1] At this point, ConTeXt provides basic support for "see" entries via the \seeREGISTER command (it does not properly support references to sub-entries) and it provides no support at all for "see also" entries.
Can somebody suggest a way to generate these entries? Perhaps a way of inserting entries into the index before it is formatted, in the     manner of \writetolist or \writebetweenlist? (MkII has \writetoregister, but that did not carry forward and I do not know if it would have helped here.)
Since strc-reg.mkiv starts with a number of ’todo’ comments, I think your best bet is to create an
actual functional example along with an explanation of what you want the typeset result to look
like in the cases where it is not doing what you want.
Generally, explicit examples / test files are the best way to get replies to questions
(either by Hans or anyone else).
The following produces what I am looking for, and a bit more. Page 3 
of the output shows what I would like to see, page 4 is the generated 
index. I don't really need the "see under" and "see also under" 
variants, but they would be nice to have. I am indifferent to having 
stops before "see also"s. I would like to be able to turn checking on 
or off, so that generic directives (in the example, see also specific 
breeds) will not generate an error, while the Ford Prefect example 
will generate an error.
