Hello,

I've been playing a bit with the most simple tikz examples so far, but
after I saw this example I got an impression that ConTeXt users might
also want to see syntax like

\starttikzpicture[optional options]{name}
 ...
\stoptikzpicture

\usetikzpicture{name}

in addition to the existing one, which would then be equivalent to
syntax of including metapost graphics. There are dozens of other
\start[whatever] commands defined in the module, but I have no idea
what all of them do. Perhaps \startpgfpicture might be another command
worth considering, but I have no idea about the rest.
