Oh, thanks. Can you describe in a few words distinction between {} and
\bgroup\egroup? I know that \bgroup\egroup are "implicit characters"
and useful in macro definitions but what this really means?
You can have
\def\startfoo{\bgroup}
\def\stopfoo{\egroup}
but you cannot get the same effect with
\def\startfoo{{}
\def\stopfoo{}}
Thanks. Clear and simple answer.
I believe in ConTeXt you'd usually(?) use \start and \stop instead of
\bgroup and \egroup, though. What do the experts say about this?
I've seen \start \stop pairs in some examples, but there are so many of
them in sources that I can not find their definition.
