This is exactly why we started writing context! We needed lots of
itemizations. So you can bet that much is supported

\stelopsommingin[elk][opelkaar,autointro] 

(or in english: \setupitemize[each][packed,autointro])

\startopsomming
\som eerste
\som tweede
\stopopsomming

You can also directly say:

\startopsomming[opelkaar]

With elk/each you tell context to apply this at each level (you can set
the maximum level if needed, currently 6). 

The autointro is another example of a switch. It keeps one liners to the
list, so yuou don't end up with 

bla bla bla: 
<next page> 
- first
- second

There are many tricks in itemizations, like: 

\startopsomming[breedte=8em,afstand=2em,items=4]
\its Ik kan \TeX\ niet missen.
\its Ik zal altijd \TeX\ blijven gebruiken.
\its Ik verwacht binnen enkele jaren een redelijk alternatief.
\its Ik gebruik naast \TeX\ ook andere zet|/|opmaakpakketten.
\its Ik gebruik \TeX\ nauwelijks.
\its Ik ben op zoek naar een ander systeem.
\stopopsomming

As said, opsommingen are among the oldest constructs in context. Now one
should watch out for another feature: 

**** itemizations are optimized in a second pass ****

This means that when you have large ones and add one more item or add a
whole new itemization, the rest can come out breaked wrong, but the next
pass is ok. ConTeXt keeps the first two and last two (or all three)
lines together (that is, when you use [packed] of course). 

There are some more two pass optimizations, guess where ...
