To: ConTeXt NTG
This gives an error:
\starttext
\setupbars[rulethickness=4pt]
\stoptext
! LuaTeX error <main ctx instance>:1: malformed number near '4pt'.
ConTeXt ver: 2012.07.04 23:48 MKIV fmt: 2012.7.6 int: english/english
Elsewhere this is ok, as for example in: \framed[rulethickness=4pt]{}
Strangely in node-rul.mkiv I see: \c!rulethickness=2.5
whereas in pack-rul.mkiv: \c!rulethickness=\linewidth
I am inclined to spot an error here, or at least an inconsistency in the API.

The underlying Lua code accepts only “ex” and “em” as valid options for the “unit” key but I would also vote to accept either “pt”, “mm” etc. as unit value or to allow “rulethickness=…pt”.
