Hi Dillon,
First of all, I'm against defining such a complex macro, since that can
be very
confusing when you use it. I personal prefer the key-value definition:
\def\DEFINETEST[#1]{%
\getXXXparameters
[paraA=defaultValueForParameterA%
,paraB=% or just empty
,#1]%
\doSomethingWith[\XXXparameter\paraA]%
\doSomethingElse...
}
You might want to refer to the following link and other valuable
materials on the
wiki for more information:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros/Key_Value_Assignments
If you insist on that, I guess you can define a temporary macro inside
your macro.
That's very dirty, but can be a little more efficient? I'm not sure.
I was given to understand that the ConTeXt MKVI now accepts parameters
such as
#position#color rather than meaningless #1#2. I GUESS that's lua-based,
so maybe
it'll break the TeX limitation.

Hi Dillon
There is also a purely plaintex solutions for example:
% Here is Peter Olsak solution (see TBN:
ftp://math.feld.cvut.cz/olsak/tbn/tbn.pdf - czech only)
\def\terminator{*}
\def\usethereadvalues{}
\newcount\tempnum
\def\readparameters{\tempnum=0\let\next=\readonlyone \next}
\def\readonlyone #1, {\advance\tempnum by 1 \def\param{#1}%
% \the\tempnum - \param\par%
\ifx\param\terminator \let\next=\usethereadvalues
\else\expandafter\def \csname param\the\tempnum\endcsname{#1}%
\fi\next}
\def\var#1{\csname #1\endcsname}
\starttext
% Read any number of parameters, terminator is * now
\readparameters 471-44/2007, 474-44/2007, 464-44/2007, 465-44/2007,
461-44/2007, 472-44/2007, 473-44/2007, 475-44/2007, 469-44/2007,
455-44/2007, AA, BBB, 124, *, %
Parameters are now in macros \type{\var{param1}}, \type{\var{param2}},
\type{\var{param3}}, \dots :
\blank[big]
\dorecurse{16}{parameter \recurselevel is : \var{param\recurselevel}\crlf}
\blank[big]
% OR
% put parameters into macro:
\def\parameters{A, B, XXL, QWE, 123, Hello, End, TeX, Solution, XSE,
Flag, Prague, Paris, New York, last value, *, }
% and now read parameters:
\expandafter\readparameters\parameters
\dorecurse{16}{parameter \recurselevel is : \var{param\recurselevel}\crlf}
\stoptext
