How do I use the new separator code? Using the hint in strc-sec I tried

\let\spr\separatorlist % this will enable this feature


\setuphead[section]   [separator={?,!,*}]
\setuphead[subsection][separator={??,!!,**}]

\starttext

\chapter{test}
\section{test} \subsection{test} \subsection{test}
\section{test} \subsection{test} \subsection{test}

\stoptext

I get the default separators. I do not see where 
\separatorlist is defined.

Also, it is possible to use different separators in heads and when they 
are referenced. Specifically, I am trying to achieve IEEE formatting 
guidelines which state

In the head only show the current number

Section I.
Subsection B.
Subsubsection 3)
paragraph a)

While refereing to a section, use

Section I
Subsection I-A
subsubsection I-A.1
paragraph I-A.1.a

Can the current implementation of separator sets achieve this?
