The following example computes page numbers correctly, places the correct
entries into the TOC, and produces the desired page headers on the first
pages of chapters. However, there are some things it doesn't do properly:
1. It puts headers on blank pages at the ends of chapters even after I
inserted the code that takes care of that problem.
2. It seems to ignore some commands or wait until the next chapter to
implement them. An example is the header on page vi. It's supposed to read
vi............................Contents
3. It seems that commands in the \startsectionenvironment frontmatter block
are ignored or overridden by commands that are for the body part. That is
why I have so many setup commands ib the \starttext section.
