Indeed!
So you do not consider the source itself as the documentation :)
Nice, I would like to use something like this,
even setting it up to be automatic at the beginning
of chapters, for example.
The example that I showed earlier did that. Essentially, just use
\setuphead[chapter][after=\placeinitial]
But it does not quite work as lettrines.
Indeed. Otherwise, there would no need for a separate module. Actually, it
will be nice if the functionality of lettrine can be merged with
\placeintial.
In a silly language such as French, the following fails:
\placeinitial L'objet de cette commande\dots
as one needs:
\lettrine{L'}{objet} de cette commande\dots
Other heuristics might apply in different cases.
And there are sentences starting with quotations, etc.
