I'd rather use `setups`, but it'd +clash with another key already taken by `\setupTABLE`. + +Currently only two rendering setups are available: `none` (it does +nothing), and `color` (cells colorfully painted across the HSV hue range). +I promise more setups will be available soon, though. + +You might be more impatient and want to define your own.
