I'm trying to put a right brace to the right of a framed box and
thought I could do this:

\starttext
$\left. \framed[width=7cm,align=right,height=fit]{
something here \hairline
\vphantom{something here} \hairline
\vphantom{something here}
} \right\} \text{entries for something}$
\stoptext

but the brace is almost exactly twice as tall as the framed box.

All help is appreciated!

Thanks

Marko

Looks like a side effect of those braces: they span 50% width +50% height, 
and the framed is height only, so:

$\left.
\vcenter{\framed
   [width=7cm,align=right,height=fit]
   {something here \hairline \hairline}}
\right\} \text{entries for something}$

as you can see, the phantoms are not needed
