I have a question about \startcases .. \stopcases.
I am trying to adjust the distance of the cases and the right brace, the
left brace is empty,
see example below. Is this possible ?
Kind regards
Wim

% Example
\starttext
\startformula
*\startcases[left={\left.},right={\right\}}]*
\NC (\lambda + \mu ) \cdot a = \lambda \cdot a + \mu \cdot a \NC \NR
\NC \lambda ( a + b ) = \lambda \cdot a + \lambda \cdot b  \NC \NR
\stopcases
\text{(distributieve eigenschappen)}
\stopformula
\stoptext
