\setfirstline is applied to whole paragraph

\setfirstline is applied to whole paragraph

[Nicola]

When I typeset the example at

    https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definefirstline

(reported below for your convenience), \setfirstline is applied to the
whole first paragraph, which is laid out on a single line (hence, it is
cropped at the edge of the page). Besides, the second \setfirstline is
not applied at all, i.e., there are no small caps. If I comment out the
first \setfirstline, then the second one does produce small caps, but
again, a whole paragraph is set in small caps, not just the first line.
