Paragraph itemization

Paragraph itemization

[Aditya Mahajan]

How can one do paragraph itemization in context. I want

\startitemize[r][left=(,right=),stopper=] %paragraph option somehow
  \item The first thing,
  \item the second thing, and
  \item finally, the last thing.
\stopitemize

to come up as

(i) The first thing, (ii) the second thing, and (iii) finally, the 
last thing.

Being lazy, I want to ConText to do the numbering for me :-)

I vaguely recall someone else asking for this, but cannot find
it anymore. I do not think you can do this with itemizations,
but perhaps there was a \defineparagraphs that worked. Anyone
else remember?

I think that the best solution is to simply write it out.  That's what
I do anyway, and I recall Donald Knuth doing it as well (not that
that says much about what we can do, though).

\startitemize[r,text]
  \item The first thing,
  \item the second thing, and
  \item finally, the last thing.
\stopitemize

Thanks, works perfectly. It is also smart enough to place the left and 
right brackets.
