Setting table of contents depth by number rather than by list

[Jason Ross via ntg-context <ntg-context@ntg.nl>]

Dear list,

Is it possible to set the maximum table of contents depth to a number 
rather than providing an explicit list of section names?


Background:

I am developing an exporter for Org mode. In Org, users can specify the 
number of levels they want in the table of contents with a number. I 
currently do this by having the sectioning commands be known to the 
exporter so I can generate a command like
     \setupcombinedlist
       [content]
       [list={section,subsection}]
for n=2.

I'm considering using  \start/stopsectionlevel for sectioning commands 
instead. That way, users could add \definesectionlevels to the document 
preamble to use whatever sectioning scheme they wanted. However, this 
would mean that the exporter wouldn't know what sectioning commands to 
use the TOC setup.


Thanks,

Jason
