we can think of using labels; deep down the core:
\setuplabeltext[\s!itemcount1={{I(},{)}}]
\def\labeledcountervalue#1{\labeltexts{#1}{\countervalue{#1}}}
etc etc; not that hard, but we need some rainy days and such
(with instead if itemcount item:1 item:2 etc)
this needs some work because itemize has its own numbering (historic reasons)
so ... you can file a feature request and remind me every now and then

I would also like such a feature. I frequently have
\defineitemgroup[features]
\setupitemgroup[features][each][left=(F,right=),stopper=]
\setupitemgroup[features][each][n,2*broad]
and the I usually do
\definereferenceformat[infeature][left=(F,right=)]
and use \infeature. It would be nice if one could have
referenceleft and referenceright in most setup commands.

I won't ask where this is documented.

If we're talking about \in-s, references, ... It would simplify my
style file considerably if I was able to get the chapters labelled as
C1, C1, ... instead of only 1, 2, ... I could get rid of left= which I
do need when referencing to the questions.
That means:
\defineenumeration
[question]
[text=Question,
way=bychapter,
sectionnumber=yes,
separator={Q.}]
\chapter{About Something}
\section{First Section}
\placeformula
\startformula
f(x)=x^2
\stopformula
\startquestion
Is it easy to do that?
\stopquestion
\chapter{About Something Else}
should give
C1 About Something
C1.1First section
f(x)=x^2 (C1.1)
question C1Q.1
C2 About Something Else
Mojca
PS: To David (and Aditya): why not simply
\defineenumeration
[question]
[text=,
left=\labeltext{question}]

I guess that this is because the text not empty.

This works,
\defineenumeration
[question]
[text=]
Or
\defineeneumeration
[question]
[text=\labeltext{question},
left=\unskip]
But both will behave incorrectly if you decide to set the label to
something else in the future.

left=Q works. The label is
, so this works
\defineenumeration
[question]
[text=Question,
left=Q]
\starttext
\startquestion[abc]
Why are there so many spaces in \in[abc]?

It seems that you're reading my mind. I guess that it must be
approximately the same reason as why I can't get
Question Q1
Question Q2
With
\defineenumeration
[question]
[text=Question Q]
\startquestion
Why are there so many spaces?
\stopquestion
I get Question Q 1 (but I can't find a way to get Q1 as is possible in
sections - the space seems to be there by default).
I thought that
headcommand=\myquestioncommand
(command spotted when I took a look at texshow, it's not in the manual) and
\def\myquestioncommand#1{Question Q#1}
would solve that, but I don't see any evidence of \myquestioncommand
ever being called/executed.
I would be very happy if this issue was solved as well. Perhas a
left=,right=
pair of keywords could solve the problem (left= and right= surrounding
the number; but then we would also have to surround the label with
something as well), where the default of left= would be a space.
\[whatever]commad= could also solve the problem.
