that (experimental) mechanism has been removed (maybe something else get 
in place, like regions we have already elsewhere)

I've added two column state variables to mp:

\startuseMPgraphic{verticalline}
     if CurrentColumn < NOfColumns :
         draw rightboundary OverlayBox shifted (2.5mm,0) ;
         setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox enlarged 2.5mm;
     fi ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\definecolumnset [example] [n=3,background=verticalline,distance=5mm]

\defineoverlay [verticalline] [\useMPgraphic{verticalline}]

\starttext
\startcolumnset [example]
   \input knuth
   \input knuth
   \input knuth
   \input knuth
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
