How to quote the section names in advance like the table of contents?

How to quote the section names in advance like the table of contents?

Dear List,

say I have three sections in the document:

    \section{foo} ... \section{bar} ... \section{baz} ...

Now I would like to auto generate a heavily customized table of contents
like the following text, which cannot be done by the stock \placecontent in
general, and put it into the preface:

   This book has 3 sections: foo, bar, and baz.

The text generation should be trivial with lua, but I don't know how such
forward reference of section names works. Could anyone help me with it?

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Sylvain

How about the following?

    \starttext
    as in \about[section-one], \about[section-two],
    \about[section-three]...

    \section[section-one]{Section One}
    \section[section-two]{Section Two}
    \section[section-three]{Section Three}
    \stoptext

Hi Pablo,

thanks for the suggestion, but I was looking for an automated method for
writing a module, therefore manual reference is not feasible here.
