Exactly. ConTeXt would need to find out the parameters' boundaries
first, and that is the place where things would become slow, since it is
not possible to use TeX's built-in parser for that; it just can't handle
two different types of balanced brackets at the same time. Besides,
you'd still need to quote commas, since \setupitemize[stopper=,] is just
as valid as \setupitemize[stopper={,}] is, just with a completely
different meaning. And while it may be a bit strange, you could even
set \setupitemize[stopper={, before=abc },after=\blank] – absolutely no
way of guessing these quotes.
regards,
Christopher
