ConTeXt would need to find out the parameters' boundaries=20 first, and that is the place where things would become slow, since it is=20 not possible to use TeX's built-in parser for that; it just can't handle=20 two different types of balanced brackets at the same time. Besides,=20 you'd still need to quote commas, since \setupitemize[stopper=3D,] is jus= t=20 as valid as \setupitemize[stopper=3D{,}] is, just with a completely=20 different meaning. And while it may be a bit strange, you could even=20 set \setupitemize[stopper=3D{, before=3Dabc },after=3D\blank] =96 absolut= ely no=20 way of guessing these quotes. regards, Christopher
