Finally, when \definemode makes testing a lot faster why than not
implement this always? That is, using \enablemode or \disablemode the
first time implies a \definemode for that mode. Doing so avoids
another macro to remember: less clutter for my brain ;-)
because one property of modes is that one doesn't have to define them,
you'd be quite unhappy if you would have to define all possible modes
that could be introduced in styles
The idea was not to have the user define the mode, but let ConTeXt
automatically do the defining when it encounters a specific mode the
first time. The work is done by ConTeXt then (would make me even more
happy ;-)
it does define them when undefined but even then it gets a special state
(modes can be in enable, disable or prevent state)
normnally it's not something a user need to worry about
