Beside blank with 1 or 2, how to do it with 1.5

Beside blank with 1 or 2, how to do it with 1.5

I would like to do something like:
\setuphead[section][before={\blank[1.5*big] \testpage[12]}]

This does not work. I get:
to be read again>
                   *
<argument> 1.5*
               big
\addaskedblankskip ...nce \blankskip #1\dimexpr #2
                                                  \relax

But I can do:
\setuphead[section][before={\blank[2*big] \testpage[12]}]

How to implement what I want?

You can only use natural numbers for the multiple of a value or write “\blank[line,halfline]”.

Okay, thanks. I will use 2*big then.

1.5 * big = big + medium => \blank[big,medium]

Works, but I did not find it satisfactory, so I am back to 2*big. But it is
good to know for next time.
