[NTG-context] Buffers vs. \def

Hello, a question - I'm just curious: What is advantage (or maybe intension) of using buffers over \def? Compare: \def\BufA{This is buffer A.} \startbuffer[BufB] This is buffer B. \stopbuffer \starttext \BufA \getbuffer[BufB] \ifx\BufC\undefined No buffer C.\else\BufC\fi
