I tried

==============================================================
\setupitemize[1][n,intro]
\setupitemize[2][a,paragraph,intro,columns,two][stopper=)]

\starttext
\startitemize
\item Item one
\item Sub-itemize:
  \startitemize
  \item sub-one
  \item sub-two
  \item sub-three
  \item sub-four
  \stopitemize
\item Sub-itemize with one column:
  \startitemize[n=1]
  \item A
  \item B
  \item C
  \stopitemize
\stopitemize
\stoptext
==============================================================

on the online ConTeXt (MkIV).  Didn't work...

I know, I've already installed MkIV on my texlive.
