I'm confused again. :\

When do you use a \defineSOMETHING instead of \setupSOMETHING ?

Must something be "\define"'ed before it is "\setup" or is it the other 
way around or is one required or one not or.... Reading the manual and 
wiki just leaves me more confused since examples are given which use one 
OR the other but don't seem to require both. Or am I missing something 
again.

Reading the pages for the individual commands doesn't help since it is 
often the case the page detailing the "\define" commands mostly seem
to imply "\define" inherits from "\setup".

Sigh.
