[NTG-context] \getbuffer without extra whitespace?

If I do something like:

\startbuffer[version]20230529a\stopbuffer
Version: \getbuffer[version]-en

I get whitespace between the content of the buffer and “-en”

What is the proper LMTX way to do this?

You need the \inlinebuffer command

\starttext

\startbuffer[version]
20230529a
\stopbuffer

Version: \inlinebuffer[version]-en

\stoptext

but buffers aren't the right tool to store strings like version information.

One alternative solution is to set the string with the \setupdocument 
command.

\setupdocument
   [version=20230529a]

\starttext

Version: \documentvariable{version}-en

\stoptext
