Here is an old example:
------------------------------------
\defineregister[Name][Names]
\setupregister[Name][pagestyle=\it]
\setupregister[Name][bf][pagestyle=\bf]

\starttext
   Names:
   \Name[bf::]{Hans}
   \Name{Taco}
   \startregister[Name][bf::]{Patrick}

   \page[yes]
   \Name{Hans}
   \stopregister[Name][bf::]{Patrick}

   \page[yes]
   \Name{Patrick}
   \placeregister[Name]
\stoptext
--------------------------------------

Regrettably, I have now no time to install and check the new version of 
newtexexec.rb, so perhaps it is already done. Please, for quick check 
focus on 'Patrick' entry, it should have "1--2, 3" page numbers.

Or more complex example:
------------------------------------
\defineregister[Name][Names]
\setupregister[Name]
\setupregister[Name][bf][pagestyle=\bf]

\starttext
   Names:
   \Name{Patrick}
   \Name[bf::]{Hans}
   \Name{Taco}
   \startregister[Name][bf::]{Patrick}

   \page[yes]
   \Name{Patrick}

   \page[yes]
   \Name{Hans}
   \stopregister[Name][bf::]{Patrick}

   \placeregister[Name]
\stoptext
--------------------------------------

Possible variants:
1) Patrick 1, 2, {\bf 1--3}
2) Patrick {\bf 1--3}, 1, 2
3) Patrick 1--2, {\bf 1--3}
4) Patrick {\bf 1--3}, 1--2

in case of variants 1 v. 2 and 3 v. 4 I am not sure how the categories 
'empty_string' and "bf" are sorted. But it does not matter since user 
can set any category name.

variants 3, 4 should be set if some register option (coupling?) is set on
