- The fact that assignments and simple options have to be separated is
not a limitation of TeX, but the way how ConTeXt is programmed. Hans
uses a single command that takes all options inside brackets at once
that defines (results in) something similar to (syntax is not exact
and is probably completely different in MKIV) \@@itmstart -> 11,
\@@itmbefore -> \startlinecorrection, etc.
fyi:
In mkiv the principle is the same but it's a bit more more dynamic:
\<namespace><instance>:<key>
with namespace being efficiently shortcut deep down in context. The new
fashion is then \<namespace>parameter{key} given that
\current<namespace> == <instance> is set. This is the new commandhandler
approach that we use in overhauled core code as well as in Wolfgangs and
Adityas modules. The dynamic approach is somewhat slower but it's
compensated by way less hash entries and other speedups in the overhaul.
