That's what I'm hoping to achieve. I'm not familiar enough with 
low-level ConTeXt to do something like this but it seems like it ought 
to be possible.

I understand. The issue I see is that this introduces a coupling between 
section structure and table of contents that could be confusing for 
users, and also makes the interface more complicated by adding another 
keyword.

I am trying to take advantage of the flexibility of ConTeXt for most of 
the configuration, because a user is more likely to be familiar with 
ConTeXt than with my specific elisp module.
