Great! This is somewhat what I suspected (columns mechanism is the older one).
older but also conceptually different
Is there good reason to keep both mechanisms? That is, does the startcolumns
mechanism have advantages? Can't one mix one column and multicolumns text on a
page using columnsets?
yes, and there might be even more variants in the future as there is not
one solution
May I suggest that \startitemize[columns] internally use such a mechanism,
perhaps when under a columns or columnset environment. Of course, this may be
a bit tricky according to the following remark:
no, the current itemize columns work nicely in the main vertical liust
while simple columns are a box
future mkiv versions might have better mechamisms
