So \endgraf (or \par) is needed here; I should have guessed-)

I definitely prefer the \ReadFile option. I could not find it (or 
\readfile{}{}{}) in ConTeXt Commands or texshow; must be new...

What's the difference between these two commands?

Also: given the ConTeXt philosophy, shouldn't there be a non-cryptic 
replacement for \par or \endgraf, something like \paragraph or \endparagraph?
