request about combinations

request about combinations

[Hans van der Meer]

A modest request, that is probably in principle not too difficult to  
fulfil.

With many commands (\framed for example) I can do a setup for general  
behaviour and do something special at the actual call.
Like this:
	\setupframed[options...]
	\framed[individual options ...]

It would be pleasant if I could do the same with combinations, but  
there I do not get to work a similar behaviour:
	\setupcombinations[align=middle,location=top]
	\startcombination[2*1][location=middle]

Is it an option for Hans to build this into the code? It would also  
make ConTeXt's behaviour more regular if every command that has a  
\setupcommand[options] would always allow \command[options]. If some  
have it and some not it "strains the brain".

yours sincerely,
dr. H. van der Meer

you can add a feature request at the collector (and also mention/collect what commands need that tweak)
