[NTG-context] expansion of section title

[NTG-context] expansion of section title

[Henning Hraban Ramm via ntg-context]

I think I had a good idea how to keep an overview of the “todos” in my 
book project:

\defineregister[todos]

% add a "todos" index entry with the current section title
\define[1]\TODO{\todos{\structurevariable{title}}}

\chapter{Something}
\TODO{This is still empty!}

% at the end of the book
\chapter{work list}
\placetodos


But the section title is always "work list" in the "todos" index.
I guess I need some expansion and tried \expanded, \safeexpanded, 
\expandoneargafter, \fullexpandoneargafter, but probably not in the 
right place.

How does this work?

\define[1]\TODO{\expanded{\todos{\structurevariable{title}}}}

What is the purpose of the argument for \TODO when you don't use it?

Thank you, that works.
I thought I tried that, but probably forgot the braces.

I simplified too much, the actual definition is (now):

\define[1]\TODO{\inouter{\tt\color[ColTodo]{TODO}}\expanded{\todos{\structurevariable{title}}}\color[ColTodo]{\bf 
#1}\autoinsertnextspace}
