Understanding registers command

Understanding registers command

[Salman Khilji]

From the BM, I copied the following and created a file named junk.tex.

\starttext
\defineregister[street][streets]
\street{Ridderstraat}
\placestreets
\stoptext

However, texexec gives me the following:

! Undefined control sequence.
<recently read> \placestreets

l.4 \placestreets

?

As far as I can see, \defineregister, or more precisely
\dodefinieerregister, completely ignores its second argument.  I guess
the #1 in the \setvalue lines (but not the other lines) of

    \setvalue{\e!plaats#1}%
      {\doplaatsregister[#1]}%
    \setvalue{\e!volledige#1}%
      {\dovolledigregister[#1]}%

should be #2.  But that would change \completeindex to \completeindices,
which would again contradict the manual, so below therewould have to be
another change, from

\definieerregister
   [\v!index]
   [\v!indices]

to

\definieerregister
   [\v!index]
   [\v!index]

Note that \placestreet and \completestreet do work.

This looked suspiciously familiar. And indeed, my bib module has the same
problem:

  % Hans, Wat is er mis met [pub][pubs]???
  % Werkt absoluut niet!
  
  \definieerlijst[pubs][pubs]

Greetings, Taco

dunno ... it's not like register definitions 

\definelist [whatever] [key=value,...] 
\definelist [whatever] [cloned-from] [key=value,...]
