In strc-mat.mkiv, we have:
\let\startplaceformula\placeformula
\let\stopplaceformula \relax
But would it not be more coherent with respect to ConTeXt syntax for it
to be used as:
\startplaceformula [reference=ref]
\stopplaceformula
rather than the present
\startplaceformula [ref]
\stopplaceformula
? \startplaceformula should take all of the options of \setupformulas.
In the case of named formulas (\placenamedformula), one could have
\startplaceformula [reference=ref,title=name]
\stopplaceformula
This would of course require some minor modifications.
i made the next ... so it's not entirely compatible (we need to keep the 
explicit \start..\stop because there can be matrices as well (unless i 
also patch those but let's not go too fast)
