Thanks. BTW, do you know if ConTeXt has either a
built-in way or at least a not too klunky way of doing
an outline like:

1.0 Foo
    1.1 Foobar
    1.2 Foobaz
2.0 Misc
    2.1 Miscellaneous
    2.2 Miscreant
        2.2.1 Fancy term for criminal
        2.2.2 Sounds funny

So far, the only way I can think of to do it is to
define an elaborate macro to put in the argument to
startitemize/stopitemize's "\sym" (which is why I
asked how to do an optional argument).
