Adjust rule between columns

Adjust rule between columns

[Henri Menke]

Dear list,

Is there a way to adjust the vertical rule which is set between columns?
 I tried the obvious keys, but they do nothing.

\starttext
\startcolumns
  [
    n=2,
    rule=on,
    rulecolor=red,% does nothing
    rulethickness=5pt,% does nothing
  ]
  \input knuth
\stopcolumns
\stoptext

Furthermore, is there a possibility to control the appearance of the
rule per column as in the following (fictitious) commands?

\setupcolumns[1][rulecolor=red,rulethickness=5pt]
\setupcolumns[2][rulecolor=green,rulethickness=1pt]

Cheers,
Henri

You can use mixedcolumns.

\starttext
\startmixedcolumns[separator=rule,rulecolor=red,rulethickness=5pt,balance=yes]
   \input knuth
\stopmixedcolumns
\stoptext

AFAIK this is not possible.

I have two follow-up questions.  First, is there a similar thing for
paragraphs (à la mixedparagraphs)?  Second, why are there two distinct
mechanisms for columns?
