suggestion for \startitemize.

suggestion for \startitemize.

[John R. Culleton]

It is possible to nest \startitemize sequences, But each level
requires a different parameter in the \startitemize statement. 

OTOH the \orderedlist command in eplain.tex uses 1,2,3 for the
outside list, then a,b,c for the first nest,  roman numerals for
the next nest and finally "*" for the innermost list. 

A similar automatic sequence or sequences would be useful in
Context.

Dear John,

There is no need to change anything, it is already there:

\starttext
\setupitemize[1][symbol=n]
\setupitemize[2][symbol=a]
\setupitemize[3][symbol=A]
\setupitemize[4][symbol=R]

\startitemize
\item One
    \startitemize
        \item Second level
        \startitemize
            \item Capitals at third level
            \startitemize
                \item Roman numerals at fourth level
            \stopitemize
        \stopitemize
    \stopitemize
\item Two
\stopitemize
\stoptext

Kind regards

Willi
