actually it does accept more units but they were pretty small (needed an
1/u)
anyhow, in the next beta we can do
\starttext
\setupbars[unit=mm,rulethickness=1]
bar\startbar[underbar]foo\stopbar bar\blank
\setupbars[unit=ex,rulethickness=1]
bar\startbar[underbar]foo\stopbar bar\blank
\setupbars[unit=pt,rulethickness=1]
bar\startbar[underbar]foo\stopbar bar\blank
\setupbars[unit=pt,rulethickness=10pt]
bar\startbar[underbar]foo\stopbar bar\blank
\stoptext
but someone has do document it
