I don't usually define macros like that (isn't that more of a
\definestartstop kind of deal?).
\definestartstop just provides some syntax sugar around that.
From core-sys.mkiv
\def\dododefinestartstop[#1][#2]%
{ ....
\setvalue{\e!start#1}%
{\getvalue{\??be#1\c!before}%
\bgroup
\getvalue{\??be#1\c!commands}%
\dostarttagged\t!construct{#1}%
\dostartattributes{\??be#1}\c!style\c!color\empty}%
\setvalue{\e!stop#1}%
{\dostopattributes
\dostoptagged
\egroup
\getvalue{\??be#1\c!after}}}
So, it is basically defining \start#1 and \stop#1, while I was defining
them explicitly.
