Dear syndicate,

For looong footnotes it would be nice to have \start-\stop footnotes for  
easier editing, but these are not defined in ConTeXt. So I tried

============================
\definestartstop
   [footnote]
   [before=\footnote\bgroup,
     after=\egroup]

\startbuffer[footnote]%

test test test test test test test test
     \footnote{This is a basic footnote.}
test test test test test test test test
     \footnote{This is another basic footnote.}
test test test test test test test test test test test test test.
\startfootnote
Here is a footnote environment.
\stopfootnote
\stopbuffer

{\typebuffer[footnote] \getbuffer[footnote]} \page
============================

But this does nothing.

   [before=\footnote{,
     after=}]

does not work either (and is not equivalent to (b/e}group). Please advise!

Best
Idris
