Block command issue!

Hi ConTeXt users,

While using ConTeXt  (MkIV, 2023.02.14) recently I stumbled across a disturbing issue when trying a user-defined block command. Probably a simple problem! Tried the following:

\definestartstop[MyItemize]
 [
   before={\startitemize[packed][distance=1.5em]},
   after=\stopitemize
 ]

\starttext

\startitemize[packed][distance=1.5em]
 \sym{\it opt.:} Description one
 \sym{\it opt.:} Other description.
\stopitemize

\hairline

\startMyItemize
 \sym{\it opt.:} Description one
 \sym{\it opt.:} Other description.
\stopMyItemize

\stoptext

The result when using MyItemize yields a blank line between items, which I'd like to omit. How can I achieve that?

Thanks for your attention!

Regards,
Gerard
