Startparagraph oddities

Startparagraph oddities

There appears to be an inconsistency in the implementation of 
\startparagraph. When it is used with one argument (or two by my reading 
of the source) it defines \stopparagraph with a terminal \endgraf, yet 
with no arguments this is not done. Strangely (to me) it also appears to 
insert a line-break before \startparagraph[]. The example below 
demonstrates these issues.

I would expect to have \endgraf inserted with each \stopparagraph 
regardless of the argument count.

There is also a wiki issue with overloading of the command name 
\startparagraph. The existing command entry points to the paragraphs 
mechanism for setting up parallel paragraphs in columns. There is also a 
\startParagraph command described for the t-pararef module. There is no 
mention of \startparagraph in the \startsection page, which might be an 
appropriate place. Perhaps some Wikipedia-style disambiguation mechanism 
is needed.

    \starttext

    \stopparagraph
    \startparagraph
    Twee
    \stopparagraph

    Drie
    \stopparagraph
    \startparagraph[]
    One
    \stopparagraph
    \startparagraph
    Twee
    \stopparagraph
    \startparagraph
    Drie
    \stopparagraph
    \stoptext
