Buffers apparently can't be used before the content is defined, but
it works for blocks (I never used them). Test:

\defineblock [bar]

\starttext

buf: \getbuffer[foo]
BBBBBBBBBBB

\startbuffer[foo]
buf: AAAAAAAAAAA
\stopbuffer

\useblocks [bar]
DDDDDDDDDDD

\beginbar
block: CCCCCCCCCCC
\endbar

\stoptext

Is there a reason why the blocks favour begin/end instead of
start/stop? Looks weird somehow.
