\placetable and \starttables ... \stoptables

[Nikolai Weibull]

\starttext
\placetable
  [][]
  {Operators}
  {\start
\starttablehead
\HL
\NC \bf Operator     \NC \bf Matches     \NC\SR
\HL
\stoptablehead
\starttabletail
\HL
\stoptabletail
\starttables[|l|lp(25em)|]
\dorecurse{50}{\NC . \NC anything \NC\AR}
\stoptables\stop}
\stoptext

This doesn't split appropriately.  It works OK if one removes the
placetable, but that kind of counteracts the whole idea.  Am I doing
something wrong, or is this an issue with the tables code?

no need for this \start \stop

\splitfloat
   [lines=3,conversion=greek]
   {\placetable{Operators}}
   {\starttablehead
      \HL
      \NC \bf Operator     \NC \bf Matches     \NC\SR
      \HL
      \stoptablehead
      \starttabletail
      \HL
      \stoptabletail
      \starttables[|l|lp(25em)|]
      \dorecurse{50}{\NC . \NC anything \NC\AR}
    \stoptables}

or


\startbuffer
   \starttablehead
     \HL
     \NC \bf Operator     \NC \bf Matches     \NC\SR
     \HL
     \stoptablehead
     \starttabletail
     \HL
     \stoptabletail
     \starttables[|l|lp(25em)|]
     \dorecurse{50}{\NC . \NC anything \NC\AR}
   \stoptables
\stopbuffer

\splitfloat
   [lines=3,conversion=greek]
   {\placetable{Operators}}
   {\getbuffer}

Aha, OK.  Thank you very much.  I have never seen \splitfloat before.
