I have had it before, but had it just again, and it can make live quit
difficult.
Instead of \getvariable I had used \getvar on line 3206. But the error
message of ConTeXt was pointing me to line 330. This makes finding and
correcting errors a little difficult.

Well, tex does not store line numbers for macro definitions which is
understandable as a macro is just a sequence of tokens where normally a
newline becomes either nothing or a spurious space. The line number that
gets reported is the linenumber where the error is invoked.
