- for sure one (esp you i guess) would like multiple alternatives then 
\startgb***
- and combinations of options, so \startgb*@#%%!()
- i hate the *'d things

why not use the existing:

\definestartstop[whatever,whateverx][style=bold,before=\blank]
\setupstartstop[whateverx][style=slanted]

[inheritance of start-stops is probably an alternative]
