Subject: [NTG-context] Use headcommand in \definedescription together with \definehighlight

Hi,
I was in the process to convert an itemize part to a description and wanted to simplify the code in the same move.
I discovered headcommand for that, but struggled to set the text in an highlight _and_ make a colon at the end.
Do you know, if this is possible?
Here is a MWE:
```
\definehighlight[hl][style={\m{>}\,\switchtobodyfont[tt]}]
\definedescription[category][
alternative=top,
headstyle=bold,
width=broad,
]
\definedescription[desc][
width=broad,
distance={\widthofstring{~}},
headcommand={\groupedcommand{\hl}{:}},
% headcommand={\groupedcommand{}{:}}, % this compiles but the highlight is lost
% headcommand={\groupedcommand{\starthl}{\stophl :}}, % this does not compile
headstyle=,
before={\startpacked},
after={\stoppacked},
alternative=hanging,
]
\starttext
This is a \hl{highlight}.
Some listings
\startcategory{Itemize}
\startitemize[packed]
\item \hl{first}: one
\item \hl{second}: two
\stopitemize
\stopcategory
Now the same as desc:
\startcategory{Desc}
\startdesc{first} one \stopdesc
\startdesc{second} two \stopdesc
\stopcategory
\stoptext
```
The itemize looks like it should look (except of the dots).
Best,
Gerion
