Hi,

donno if this is a bug or a feature. If I use \blank with a dimen register, I get

[..]
context/base/type-otf.tex (r:/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-otf.mkiv))
bodyfont        : 12pt rm is loaded
language        : language en is active
systems         : begin file test at line 4

                                                 \relax
l.10 }
\dovspacingyes ...ument #1\else \s!default \fi ")}
                                                 \fi
l.6 \blank[force,\FOO]
?

Here is a minimal example:

%-----------------
\newdimen\FOO
\FOO5cm\relax

\starttext

\blank[force,\FOO]

\stoptext
%-----------------

Using \blank[force,\the\FOO] does work. No such problems in mkii.
