i wanted to instead define bigcrafting to work like this:
\bigcrafting
  [21=planks, 22=planks,
   31=planks, 32=planks]
  [workbench]

but \getparameters<http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Commands_with_KeyVal_arguments>can’t
handle numerical values.

Why now?

\getparameters[MyNameSpace][1=a,2=b]

\getvalue{MyNameSpace1}

works ok.
