starttabulate vs starttable

[frantisek holop <minusf@obiit.org>]

hi there,

please consider the following minimal examples:

\starttext
\starttable[|l|l|l|]
\NC MidE \VL early ModE	\VL ModE  \NC \SR \HL
\NC ge:s \VL gi:s       \VL geese \NC \FR
\NC na:m \VL ne:minimal	\VL name  \NC \MR
\NC mi:s \VL mays	\VL mice  \NC \LR
\stoptable

\starttabulate[|l|l|l|]
\NC MidE \NC early ModE \NC ModE  \NC \NR \HL
\NC ge:s \NC gi:s       \NC geese \NC \NR
\NC na:m \NC ne:minimal	\NC name  \NC \NR
\NC mi:s \NC mays	\NC mice  \NC \NR
\stoptabulate
\stoptext

the tabulate example is basicly the same without
the vertical lines, which it seems like it can't do,
i get an ! Undefined control sequence.

but \HL seems to work (and \VL not).
tabulate is very lightly documented so i am not sure
which table command works there and which not.

i'd like to use tabulate instead of table because
of the spacing.  i dont need to stretch the content
like table does.  this is a small inline "table"
between 2 paragpraphs, tabulate seems more elegant
to me here.

Han,
it would be nice if tabulate could handle VL,
that would make tabulate even more useful.
pretty please :D
