+%C This module is part of the \CONTEXT\ macro||package and is
+%C therefore copyrighted by \PRAGMA. See mreadme.pdf for
+%C details.
+
+%D This is an unfinished, preliminary module. At least two
+%D runs are needed to get the table fixed. Ugly code.
+
+% todo: special parsetb for argless variant
+% todo: protect \tbl...
+% todo: tblnx also count
+% todo: get rid of recurse
+% todo: fast if
+% todo: avoid halign (just do it manual) and thereby globals
+
+% optie=rek beschrijven

+
+%D As always, this is the nth version. Much time went in
+%D trying to speed up the many cell calculations, some
+%D optimizations were rejected in order not to complicate this
+%D module too much (and in order to prevail extensibility).

+% the section setup does not work yet, data needs to be stored,
+% i.e.each row should know if it's a head/body/foot, and there
+% should be \setupTABLE[head]... and alike

+%D A simple way to force equal line spacing is to say:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \def\bTBLCELL{\begstrut}
+%D \def\eTBLCELL{\endstrut}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D The next alternative also takes care of preceding and following
+%D white space.
