Buffer within a \def

Buffer within a \def

Hello,

I'm not very familiar with using buffers, so a basic question:

Is it possible to use buffers within a \def?

The following sample doesn't compile:

----
\def\T{
   \startbuffer[Buf]
     a b ccc
     d e f
   \stopbuffer
   \getbuffer[Buf]
}

\starttext
   \T

   A
\stoptext
----

What's wrong?

Best regards,

Lukas

\def\T{
  \startbuffer[Buf]
    a b ccc
    d e f
  \stopbuffer
  \getbuffer[Buf]
}

\starttext
  \startbuffer[BufA]
    A B Ccc
    D E F
  \stopbuffer
  \getbuffer[BufA]

  \T % Works OK with this line commented

  A
\stoptext
