Well, that's nice for \item because you now they end after
\stopitemize, so you can easily indent correctly.  However, for
\setup*-commands, this is not true.

I'm sorry to hear that, so ... If you have something like this:

\startitemize[n]
\item hello
\item test
\stopitemize

you can setup this itemization with

\setupitemize[1][packed][symbol=a]

this means itemization at level 1 should be tightly packed and the
"bullets" should be "a", "b", and so on (which, in this example would
be superseded by the "n" and therefore become "1", "2", and so on).
It's more like \renewcommand in LaTeX and therefore the next lines
should not be indented like \items but differently, because you can
write code like this:

\setupitemize[1][packed]
                [symbol=a]


Btw, I managed to pinpoint my problems with `transient-mark-mode'.  It
seemed to be my call to "(icomplete-mode)" in my init-files.  Which is
strange, but it works now.  Actually, I even don't know what it's for
because I do have iswitchb, which is all I want.
