thanks.  i realize that flexibility is a plus here, on the other hand
creating macros even for the most basic functionality becomes
counterproductive at some point.  

there are great basic building blocks in context.
some of them are just not as consistent as the others :)

i think consistency and 'logic' helps making the learning curve
softer and work easier and faster.

for example:

\quote          -> \setupquote
\quotation      -> \setupquotation
\startquotation -> \setupquotationenvironment :)

or some such.

the problem is, that the manuals are not really verbose
and help create wrong assumptions because at some places
context is wonderfully 'logical' and consistent.
