\placefigure is a combination of the element "place" (\e!place) and the 
variable "figure" (\v!figure)

\startplacefigure is a combination of the elements "start" (\e!start) 
and "place" (\e!place) and the variable "figure" (\v!figure.)

Delimited command are problematic (especially when they change 
catcodes), e.g. \startluacode use \stopluacode as hard coded delimiter 
for the environment. While it is easy to create a synonym for 
\startluacode this isn't the case for \stopluacode because the 
environment always look for \stopluacode as stopper and alternative 
names are ignored.

There are ways to work around this (e.g. \startfootnote) but for the 
english interface they aren't needed in most cases.
