Variable Caption Locations

Variable Caption Locations

[tbrowder]

I need to have captions ABOVE tables but below all other float types.  The
default is below, and I know I can do something like

{
setupcaptions[location=top]
\placetable...
}

for each table.

But is there a more elegant way to do it globally?  Could ConTeXt have a
separate global setup for each type of float caption?

Thanks.

\definefloat[mytable][mytables][table

\setupcaption[mytable][location=top]

\placemytable{}{}

(details.pdf has more info on that)
