As I understand it, this gives you one
\startGrid and one \stopGrid at each
moment when you change the grid scheme
in your example. In contrast, context
names give you one \stopGrid and one
\startGrid "name of context", and you
no longer have to declare the grids in
advance. That's not bad, is it? Assuming
that I'm misunderstanding what you mean,
I still think it would be worth it to
make the input more convenient in 90%
of cases even if that means less convenience
in the remaining 10%.

Best,
