I mean parameter values. Then why not have ConTeXt add braces to every parameter? Or there will be slowdown Taco mentioned?
Exactly. ConTeXt would need to find out the parameters' boundaries first, and that is the place where things would become slow, since it is not possible to use TeX's built-in parser for that; it just can't handle two different types of balanced brackets at the same time. Besides, you'd still need to quote commas, since \setupitemize[stopper=,] is just as valid as \setupitemize[stopper={,}] is, just with a completely different meaning. And while it may be a bit strange, you could even set \setupitemize[stopper={, before=abc },after=\blank] – absolutely no way of guessing these quotes. regards, Christopher
