Thanks, I was right in suspecting I did not completely understand the
effect of \getcommalistsize.
It is clear now.

Am I doing something wrong here or understood it wrong?
\getcommalistsize puts its result (the length of the commalist)
in \commalistsize, but does not expand to anything
I wanted to do something with the length of a commalist but found
that it macro \getcommalistsize does not seem to respond.
Here is a small test:
\starttext
\def\showcommalist#1{commalist=(#1)\crlf
(size=\getcommalistsize[#1])\crlf
\processcommalist[#1]\showcomma
