I found \start and \stop referenced in the context reference manual (e.g. section 5.5). While \startXYZ - \stopXYZ pairs are discussed earlier, I can't find any place that \start and \stop (with no suffix) are described. They seem to be used like \bgroup and \egroup. Is that right? They are defined in core-sys.mkiv, but I can't figure out from there what they actually do.
(Untested, based on what I remember): \start = \bgroup \stop = \egroup but \start scans the next argument, so there are situations when \start may fail but \bgroup works. \start[whatever] ... \stop = \startwhatever ... \stopwhatever Aditya
