The *strict prevents widows and orphans (comment \setuplayout in this

Hello Wolfgang,

I know that \setupalign[line] means: last line should touch the bottom.
It can be useful, but it's not always what I want.

Here an example from real life (not the content... ;). I hope you agree,
that there should be done something in the default setup of ConTeXT:

%\setuplayout[setups=*strict]  % this helps only in some cases...
%\setupalign[line]  % this means "flushbottom" and I don't always want that
\def\Lines#1{\dorecurse{#1}{\dorecurse{17}{text }}\par}
\def\Table#1{\starttable[|l|]\dorecurse{#1}{\NC bla \NC\AR}\stoptable}
\showframe
\starttext
