This is flexible, but is this really elegant?
Would it not be better (i.e. intuitive) to be able to simply type:
\section [number=no] {Introduction}
After all, one feature that I *really* like about ConTeXt is inheritance and 
default options that can be fixed through \setupsomething, or through a case 
by case basis.



Unnumbered sections is the default within
\startfrontmatter
\stopfrontmatter

However, it is quite logical to also have unnumbered Introduction (and 
Conclusions) in the body of the work that are to appear in the table of 
contents as well.

In a work using \part, the same can apply to \chapter.
