OK, since we're speaking of registers, may I repeat my question from  
last weekend and add something that could be a bug? First, here's the  
question:

I have defined a special index which will typeset numbers in bold:

\setupregister[index][imp][pagestyle=bold]

which I invoke like

\index[imp::]{modernity}

How can I get a register range to use this special style?  I tried
something like

\startregister[imp][signi][signifie]{\em signifié}

but get errors "missing csname." What am i overlooking?


And then the bug: I want a \seeindex entry to be typeset in italics,  
but there seems to be a problem; I get this error message:

Runaway argument?
