Subject: Arranging columns (rotated U-Shape). Do you know a way to do in ConTeXt (with or without column sets)?

Dear readers.
Using ConTeXt MkIV.
I try to figure out how to use column sets such that one can place a
column seperately beside other columns. I did not found a way.
The setup for columnsets should look like a rotated U-shape
%% /Page 1 _________________\
%% +------+ +------+ +------+
%% | | |cset-1| |cset-1|
%% |cset-3| +------+ +------+
%% | |
%% | | +------+ +------+
%% | | |cset-2| |cset-2|
%% +------+ +------+ +------+
Text should flow inside cset-1 columns automatically, without need to
force column break by hand (like \column).
I get something like
%% /Page 1 _________________\
%% +------+ +------+
%% |cset-1| |cset-1|
%% +------+ +------+
%%
%% +------+ +------+
%% |cset-2| |cset-2|
%% +------+ +------+
%%
%% /Page 2 _________________\
%% +------+
%% | |
%% |cset-3|
%% | |
%% | |
%% | |
%% +------+
Is it possible to do with columnsets? Are there other ways without
columnsets?
Thank you for reading.
Regards,
Leonard Siebeneicher
