Feature Request: showframe debugging

Hi,

\showframe
[
  labels=on,
  measurements=on,
  color=red,
]

Would produce an image similar to the attached, but with the black
lines drawn in the specified colour.

Using labels=on would show the names of the items that can be changed
with \setuplayout.
Using measurements=on would show the values for each of the items.

I don't know if there is any value separating the measurements from the labels.

Thank you!

You can use:

\starttext

\showlayout

% \showlayout[cc,cm,mm,bp]

\stoptext

the problem with visualizing is that values can be zero so visualizing 
becomes messy

There was also the layout module[1] by Patrick that visualizes the layout, 
but it has not been tuned to work for MkIV.

Some years ago I visualised the layout elements for a cheat sheet. The code can be
found here:

  https://gist.github.com/mpfusion/4635387

It could be extended to visualise the layout dimensions as well. But
that complicates the code, since you don't know where the labels end
up and you need to check for overlapping labels.
