OTOH user-defined commands can be added to the ConTeXt lexer via the
Style Configurator (Notepad++) and get their own highlight color. I
have found this very useful in writing long documents. See attached
(User-defined Keywords dialog).
You can limit the number of custom commands when you use
\startnamedsection[topic][title=...]
instead of
\starttopic[title=...]
First time encountering these two commands; they're not on the wiki,
need to learn more about them..
Can you explain or give a complete sample test file illustrating how
they apply in the matter under discussion? Thanks.
This is only a example to demonstrate that you can create new commands
without using new command names (and the need to add them to your lexer)
in your document.
In the example below I create a new section but I don’t have to use
a new user generated command in the document itself.
\definehead[topic][subject]
\starttext
\startnamedsection[topic][title=This is a topic]
...
\stopnamedsection
\stoptext
indeed, and we stimmulate this over using hard coded generated names 
(some define commands have the option not to define instance commands)

idris: don't overdo syntax highlighting, better concentrate on 
supporting structure
