+README for the `xt_capts' package (February 1998)
+=================================
+
+Abstract:
+---------
+This package allows to define language dependent text macros. They are
+called \emph{extended captions}, because \emph{caption} is the term that is
+used in \LaTeX2e for denoting language dependent words.
+
+Whenever a new language is selected, the appropriate macros are used,
+provided they have been defined. In addition, a default variant can be
+defined for \emph{all} languages. And it is possible to use a fixed
+language for a caption, which is not affected by changing the current
+language.
+
+
+Installation:
+-------------
+Running LaTeX on the file `xt_capts.ins' will produce the package file
+`xt_capts.sty'. So you should first process
+
+  latex xt_capts.ins
+
+The resulting package file should then be moved to a directory on
+LaTeX's standard input path.
+
+
+Documentation:
+--------------
+The documented source code of this package is in the file `xt_capts.dtx'.
+Documentation for the package may be obtained by running LaTeX on that file.
+
+For example:
+
+  latex xt_capts.dtx
+
+will produce the file xt_capts.dvi, documenting the package.
+
+
+
+Good Luck!

+%
+% \section{Introduction}
+% When doing some cooperative work within a team, it is often recommended to
+% define some handy text commands, which everybody should use. In addition, it
+% is sometimes necessary to use these commands in different languages. The
+% command names should not change, but the represented text may vary from one
+% language to the other. Similar ideas are used within a multilingual
+% \LaTeX2e, an examples is |\figurename|, which gives ``\figurename'' in
+% English and ``Abbildung'' in German. These commands are called
+% \emph{captions}, that is why this package is called |xt_capts|, an
+% abbreviation for \emph{extended captions}.
+%
+% This package implements some commands, which can be used to define new
+% language-specific captions. Most ideas (and even much of the
+% documentation) were adapted from the \LaTeX2e font encoding scheme, namely
+% out of the |fontenc| package and its documentation file |ltoutenc.dtx|.
+% Therefore it may not be very surprisingly, that the implementation is based on
+% the two commands |\DeclareTextCommand| and |\ProvideTextCommand|.
+%
+% \subsection{Declaring captions}
+% The syntax for declaring language-specific commands is as follows:
+% \begin{quote}
+%   |\DeclareCaption{|^^A
+%     \meta{caption}|}{|^^A
+%     \meta{language}|}|\\\hspace*{\fill}|[|^^A
+%     \meta{number}|][|^^A
+%     \meta{default}|]{|^^A
+%     \meta{commands}|}|
+%
+%   |\ProvideCaption{|^^A
+%     \meta{caption}|}{|^^A
+%     \meta{language}|}|\\\hspace*{\fill}|[|^^A
+%     \meta{number}|][|^^A
+%     \meta{default}|]{|^^A
+%     \meta{commands}|}|
+% \end{quote}
+% 
+% The first command acts like |\newcommand|, except that it defines a command
+% which is specific to the given language, meaning it defines a new caption.
+% The command accepts the same optional arguments as |\newcommand|, which
+% allows somebody to define a caption with arguments. The resulting
+% command is always robust, even if its definition is fragile. 
+%
+% The second command does nearly the same, except that nothing is done if
+% the command is already defined for the given language. Additionally, the
+% latter command is allowed inside the document, too, whereas the former
+% one may be used only inside the preamble.
+%
+% For example, to define the caption |\teapot| for English and German, the
+% following code can be used:
+% \begin{verbatim}
+%   \DeclareCaption{\teapot}{english}{\textbf{teapot}}
+%   \DeclareCaption{\teapot}{german}{\textbf{Teekanne}}
+% \end{verbatim}
+%
+% \subsection{Using captions}
+% The defined captions can be used in two ways. Normally they are used by just
+% calling the command after the appropriate language has been
+% selected. However, sometimes it may be necessary to use a command in a
+% language that is not selected (or even not installed). Therefore the
+% |\UseCaption| command can be called:
+%
+% \begin{quote}
+%   |\UseCaption{|^^A
+%     \meta{language}|}{|^^A
+%     \meta{caption}|}|
+% \end{quote}
+% For example, |\UseCaption{german}{\teapot}| has the same effect as:
+% \begin{verbatim}
+%   {\selectlanguage{german}\teapot}
+% \end{verbatim}
+% The first variant has the advantage, that it is much faster than changing
+% the whole language with the |\selectlanguage| mechanism and that it can be
+% used even if no language package is used at all.
+%
+% After defining the above captions, |\teapot| gives either \teapot\ or 
+% \UseCaption{german}\teapot, depending on the currently selected
+% language.
+%
+% Some more flexibility can be reached, if arguments are used in the
+% declarations. Two examples are given in the following. The first one allows
+% to use the caption in singular or in plural form, whereas the second example
+% provides the possibility to change the leading letter.
+% \begin{verbatim}
+%   \DeclareCaption{\teacup}{english}[1][\empty]{\textbf{cup#1 of tea}}
+%   \DeclareCaption{\hotscones}{english}[1][h]{\textbf{#1ot scones}}
+% \end{verbatim}
+% The use of |\teacup| leads to a \teacup, whereas |\teacup[s]| gives some
+% \teacup[s]. \hotscones[H]\ are ordered with |\hotscones|[H], whereas
+% \hotscones\ are created with |\hotscones|.
+%
+% Note that you can also use parameterized captions in conjunction with the
+% |\UseCaption| command. This means, that if |\teacup| is defined for German
+% like
+% \ProvideCaption{\teacup}{german}[1][\empty]{\textbf{Teetasse#1}}
+% \begin{verbatim}
+%   \ProvideCaption{\teacup}{german}[1][\empty]{\textbf{Teetasse#1}}
+% \end{verbatim}
+% you can say |\UseCaption{german}\teacup[n]| to typeset
+% \UseCaption{german}\teacup[n]. Please note that it is not necessary to put
+% the caption command into braces.
+% 
+% \subsection{Default captions}
+% You can also declare a default definition for a caption command, which will
+% be used if the current language has no appropriate definition. Such use will
+% also set the definition for this command in the current language to equal
+% this default definition; this makes subsequent uses of the command much
+% faster.
+% \begin{quote}
+%   |\DeclareCaptionDefault{|^^A
+%     \meta{caption}|}{|^^A
+%     \meta{definition}|}|
+% \end{quote}
+% There is a matching |\Provide| command which will not override an existing
+% default definition:
+% \begin{quote}
+%   |\ProvideCaptionDefault{|^^A
+%     \meta{caption}|}{|^^A
+%     \meta{definition}|}|
+% \end{quote}
+%
+% \subsection{Language switching}
+% The package uses the |\selectlanguage| mechanism to recognize a switching of
+% the current language and to set its internal language definition, just like
+% the |babel| package (and various other packages) does to redefine existing
+% captions like |\chaptername|.
+% 
+% Some facts have to be known by the implementation concerning the language
+% selection mechanism:
+% \begin{enumerate}
+% \item When using language packages like |babel| or |german|, you can switch
+%   to another (installed) language |XXX| with the |\selectlanguage{XXX}|
+%   command.
+%   During its execution, three language dependent macros are evaluated,
+%   namely: |\dateXXX|, |\captionsXXX|, and |\extrasXXX|. The second macro is
+%   used by our |xt_capts| package to realize new language dependent captions.
+% \item If no language is installed at all, the |\selectlanguage| command may
+%   be defined nevertheless, since it is possibly included into the format
+%   file. But luckily the |\languagename| macro is undefined, such that a test
+%   can be performed.
+% \item There are some difficulties in installing and initializing the new
+%   captions, since the package should work with \emph{all} language packages,
+%   which uses the the macros |\selectlanguage| and |\captionsXXX|. An example
+%   is the |babel| system. In the current release v3.6h, the |\selectlanguage|
+%   command is deferred until the begin of the document. In other package like
+%   the |german| package (release v2.5d), the |\selectlanguage| command is
+%   called immediately. But the sequence in which the different packages are
+%   used should be of no interest. Therefore we must take care of the ordering
+%   of deferred commands.
+% \end{enumerate}
+%
+% \StopEventually{}
+
+% \section{The Macros}
+% First of all, some useful commands are defined. They are used to affect
+% the execution ordering of commands which have been deferred until the begin
+% or the end of the document. After this prelude, the declaration and the
+% implementation of captions is handled as well as the using a fixed language
+% for a caption. It follows the code used for initialization and installation
+% of a new caption language. The last section describes how the default
+% language is set.
+%
+% \subsection{Some useful commands}
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+%<*package>
+%    \end{macrocode}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\g@prependto@macro}
+% In correspondence to the command |\g@addto@macro|, a new command with the
+% name |\g@prepend@macro| is defined. As you may guess, this command is used to
+% prepend something to an already defined macro. The |\g@addto@macro| is
+% defined in |ltclass.dtx| as follows:
+% \begin{quote}\begin{verbatim}
+% \long\def\g@addto@macro#1#2{%
+%   \begingroup
+%     \toks@\expandafter{#1#2}%
+%     \xdef#1{\the\toks@}%
+%   \endgroup}
+% \end{verbatim}\end{quote}
+%
+% Since it has to be possible to prepend more than a single command, it is not
+% sufficient to simply exchange the two parameters when setting the token.
+% Instead, the second parameter has to be bound to a temporary macro. Otherwise
+% we would fail to jump over the second parameter to expand the macro itself.
+% The |\expandafter| command would step into the code that is to be prepended.
+% In the mentioned command |\g@addto@macro| this detour is not necessary,
+% because there it is not necessary to jump over the second parameter.
+%
+% The extension of a macro is done similarly to the one used in
+% |\g@addto@macro|: the new contents of
+% the macro is put into |\toks@| (after expanding both parameters) and than
+% the command mentioned in the first parameter is defined with the help of the
+% token register. To expand both parameters, the |\expandafter| command is
+% used. Note that the old contents of the macro is expanded first.  
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\long\def\g@prependto@macro#1#2{%
+  \begingroup \def\reserved@a{#2}%
+    \toks@\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter{%
+      \expandafter\reserved@a#1}%
+    \xdef#1{\the\toks@}%
+    \endgroup}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\BeforeAtBeginDocument}
+% \begin{macro}{\AfterAtBeginDocument}
+%
+% The recently defined command is used in the following definitions. Similar
+% to the command |\AtBeginDocument|, the new command |\BeforeAtBeginDocument|
+% can be used to execute something at the beginning of a document. But in
+% contrast to the former command, the code will be \emph{prepended} to
+% |\@begindocumenthook|. This will allow package writers to define some code
+% which is executed \emph{before} the deferred code of all other packages is
+% executed.
+%
+% It may be useful to execute some code \emph{after} all packages have done
+% their initializations at the beginning of the document. Looking deeply into
+% the |\document| macro shows that the do-list |\@preamblecmds| can be misused
+% for this purpose. The list consists of |\do|-commands,
+% each followed by the command to be disabled. It is evaluated after the
+% |\@begindocumenthook| has
+% been executed. Its original purpose is to disable commands from execution
+% after the document has been started. But it is possible to (mis)use this
+% list as hook as well.
+%
+% Note that both commands may be used only in the preamble.
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\def\BeforeAtBeginDocument{\g@prependto@macro\@begindocumenthook}
+\def\AfterAtBeginDocument#1{\g@prependto@macro\@preamblecmds{#1}}
+\@onlypreamble\BeforeAtBeginDocument
+\@onlypreamble\AfterAtBeginDocument
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\BeforeAtEndDocument}
+% Perhaps somebody wants to extend |\@enddocumenthook| at its head,
+% too. This can be done by prepending some code to that hook. 
+% Unfortunately, there is no simple way to implement the analogous
+% |\AfterAtEndDocument| command.
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\def\BeforeAtEndDocument#1{\g@prependto@macro\@enddocumenthook{#1}}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+
+
+% \subsection{Declaring language dependent captions and their defaults}
+% This section describes the implementation of the essential commands belonging
+% to this package. They all serve the purpose to define and use language
+% dependent captions. The name space |\xtc@| is used for internal macros.
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\DeclareCaption}
+% \begin{macro}{\ProvideCaption}
+%
+% The implementation is based on |\DeclareTextCommand|, a \LaTeX2e kernel
+% command, which is used for declaring encoding-specific commands. Some tricky
+% declarations make sure that the same command can be used for
+% language-specific commands, too.
+%
+% The |\xtc@init| command is called to fulfill the initialization stuff.
+% Note that |\DeclareCaption| can only be used in the
+% preamble, but that the |\Provide| version is allowed anywhere.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\newcommand{\DeclareCaption}[2]{%
+  \xtc@init{#2}%
+  \DeclareTextCommand#1{#2}}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\newcommand{\ProvideCaption}[2]{%
+  \xtc@init{#2}%
+  \ProvideTextCommand#1{#2}}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\@onlypreamble\DeclareCaption
+%\@onlypreamble\ProvideCaption
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\DeclareCaptionDefault}
+% \begin{macro}{\ProvideCaptionDefault}
+% These macros define commands with our default language |lang?|.
+% Note that |\DeclareCaptionDefault| can only be used in the
+% preamble, but that the |\Provide| version is allowed anywhere.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\newcommand{\DeclareCaptionDefault}[1]{%
+  \DeclareTextCommand#1{lang?}}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\newcommand{\ProvideCaptionDefault}[1]{%
+  \ProvideTextCommand#1{lang?}}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\@onlypreamble\DeclareCaptionDefault
+%\@onlypreamble\ProvideCaptionDefault
+%    \end{macrocode}
+%    These macros require |\lang?-cmd| to be initialized as
+%    |\xtc@changed@lang|.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\expandafter\let\csname lang?-cmd\endcsname\xtc@changed@lang
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \subsection{Implementation of the language mechanism}
+% When executing |\DeclareCaption{\foo}{XXX}...|, the standard kernel command
+% |\DeclareTextCommand| is called with exactly the same arguments. During that
+% call, |\foo| is defined to be |\XXX-cmd \foo \XXX\foo|, where |\XXX\foo| is
+% \emph{\bfseries one} control sequence, not two. In addition, |\newcommand| is
+% called to define |\XXX\foo| accordingly to what follows in the dots.
+%
+% The documentation of |ltoutenc.dtx| states that all the tricky work is done
+% when executing |\XXX-cmd \foo \XXX\foo|. That's fairly true. Since we are
+% juggling with language switching and with protected commands, we must respect
+% the current values of |\protect| and the actual language. Unfortunately, the
+% macro |\languagename| is not always defined. Therefore we define
+% |\xtc@lang| to contain the current language name for the captions and take an
+% approach similar to the font encoding scheme. The approach is as follows:
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item If |\protect| is not |\@typeset@protect|, then we execute
+%   |\noexpand\foo|. This make |\foo| robust, so that it will survive all
+%   things which may happen to it, even if it is written to a file or something
+%   else.
+% \item If |\protect| is |\@typeset@protect| and |\xtc@lang| is |XXX|, then
+%   |\XXX\foo| is executed. Like in the font encoding scheme, this is the
+%   normal behavior, and it is optimized for speed.
+% \item If |\protect| is |\@typeset@protect|, |\xtc@lang| is (say) |YYY|,
+%   and |\YYY\foo| is defined, then we execute |\YYY\foo|.
+% \item If |\protect| is |\@typeset@protect|, |\xtc@lang| is (say) |YYY|,
+%   and |\YYY\foo| is undefined, then we define |\YYY\foo| to be equal to the
+%   default value of |\foo|, and execute |\YYY\foo|.
+% \item In all cases, if |\protect| is |\@typeset@protect| and we are  in math
+%   mode, then an additional warning is issued.
+% \end{itemize}
+%
+% So after all that, we will either execute the appropriate
+% definition of |\foo| for the current language, or we will execute
+% |\noexpand\foo|.
+%
+% The default value of |\foo| is |\lang?\foo| if it is defined, and an
+% error message otherwise.
+%
+%
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\xtc@use@lang}
+% \begin{macro}{\xtc@lang}
+%
+% If the language is changed from |XXX| to |YYY|, |\XXX-cmd| is
+% defined to be an alias to |\xtc@changed@lang|, whereas |\YYY-cmd| is defined
+% to be an alias to
+% |\xtc@current@lang|. This means that the test for what the current
+% language is can be performed quickly. More precisely, there is no need to
+% make any test at all, because the right command is called on the fly. The
+% language change is done by calling |\xtc@use@lang|.
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\def\xtc@use@lang#1{%
+  \expandafter\let\csname\xtc@lang -cmd\endcsname\xtc@changed@lang
+  \edef\xtc@lang{#1}%
+  \expandafter\let\csname\xtc@lang -cmd\endcsname\xtc@current@lang}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+%
+% In addition, the macro |\xtc@lang| (denoting the current language) is
+% initialized to be |lang?|. This has to be done, because otherwise the macro
+% would be undefined if the first language is selected.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\def\xtc@lang{lang?}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\xtc@current@lang}
+% \begin{macro}{\xtc@changed@lang}
+% \begin{macro}{\xtc@unavailable}
+%
+% The next macro treats the case that a caption uses the current language. It
+% simply tests if we are in protected modus. If not, the math warning is raised
+% optionally, just before the next command will be executed. Remember that this
+% command is the |\XXX\foo| one. If we are in protected modus, we do a
+% |\noexpand\foo| and remove the next command by means of the |\@gobble|
+% command.
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\def\xtc@current@lang#1{%
+   \ifx\protect\@typeset@protect
+      \@inmathwarn#1%
+   \else
+      \noexpand#1\expandafter\@gobble
+   \fi}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+%
+% Things differ a bit, if the language has changed. First of all, we remove the
+% |\XXX\foo| and save it in the second parameter. Note that we do not use it
+% any more. The test if we are in protected modus is the same, the actions
+% differ. Since we have already removed the next command, we simply do our
+% |\noexpand\foo| in case of protection. Otherwise we possibly raise our math
+% warning, before processing the command. 
+%
+% We have to take care of undefined
+% commands. If the desired is undefined for the current language, it is let to
+% be an alias to the default command. If the default command is undefined, it
+% is defined to give an error message. The last step of our processing is to
+% evaluate the desired command.
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\def\xtc@changed@lang#1#2{%
+   \ifx\protect\@typeset@protect
+      \@inmathwarn#1%
+      \expandafter\ifx\csname\xtc@lang\string#1\endcsname\relax
+         \expandafter\ifx\csname lang?\string#1\endcsname\relax
+            \expandafter\def\csname lang?\string#1\endcsname{%
+               \xtc@unavailable#1%
+            }%
+         \fi
+         \global\expandafter\let
+               \csname\xtc@lang \string#1\expandafter\endcsname
+               \csname lang?\string#1\endcsname
+      \fi
+      \csname\xtc@lang\string#1%
+         \expandafter\endcsname
+   \else
+      \noexpand#1%
+   \fi}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+%
+%   Now we define the error message |\xtc@unavailable|. Note that the
+%   mentioned warning |\@inmathwarn| is used out of the font encoding code as
+%   it is.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\gdef\xtc@unavailable#1{%
+  \@latex@error{%
+    Command \protect#1 unavailable in language \xtc@lang%
+    }\@eha}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \subsection{A command for using a fixed language}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\UseCaption}
+% The |\UseCaption| command can be used even for captions which have
+% parameters. It is important to make the command robust, since it can be use
+% inside a |\section| command to prevent a heading from being typeset in the
+% wrong language.
+%
+% Our first implementation approach set the desired language before evaluating
+% the caption. It finished with restoring the language to its old value. The
+% coding was straight forward:
+%
+% \begin{quote}\begin{verbatim}
+% \declare@robustcommand{\UseCaption}[2]{%
+%   \let\xtc@saved@lang\xtc@lang
+%   \xtc@use@lang{#1}%
+%   #2%
+%   \xtc@use@lang\xtc@saved@lang}
+% \end{verbatim}\end{quote}
+%
+% Unfortunately, this was not the very best solution, because an appended
+% |\xspace| was misleaded. Therefore the implementation was changed. Now
+% nothing will follow the expanded caption.
+%
+% The implementation takes an approach very
+% similar to the |\xtc@changed@lang| command. Since the |\UseCaption| command is
+% defined to be robust, we need not to check the value of |\protect|. Instead, we
+% only check if the desired language command is defined or not. If not, we
+% have a look at the default command. If the latter is not defined as well, it
+% is defined to give our error. Now we have the default command available and
+% let the desired command be an alias to the default command. Finally, we
+% evaluate the desired command.
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\declare@robustcommand\UseCaption[2]{%
+  \@inmathwarn#2%
+  \expandafter\ifx\csname #1\string#2\endcsname\relax
+    \expandafter\ifx\csname lang?\string#2\endcsname\relax

+% \subsection{Initialization and installation stuff}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\xtc@init}
+% \begin{macro}{\xtc@install}
+% 
+% Each time a caption is declared or provided, the command |\xtc@init|
+% is called with the desired language as parameter, say |XXX|. The purpose of
+% this call is to initialize a new language if called the first time with
+% |XXX| and to do nothing otherwise.
+%
+% Therefore the command |\xtc@XXX| is tested. If this command is
+% undefined, the initialization happens, otherwise the call returns.
+% When performing the test, it must be taken into account, that |\csname|
+% lets an undefined command to |\relax|. If undefined, it is defined to set the
+% new language. In addition, the |\XXX-cmd| is let to |\xtc@changed@lang| and the
+% new |\xtc@XXX| is installed.
+% 
+% Since the initialization command may be called by |\ProvideCaption| after
+% the document
+% has started, it is tested, if |\@begindocumenthook| is defined. If not, we are
+% inside the document and can install |\xtc@XXX| immediately. If
+% defined, we are still in the preamble and have to defer the installation
+% until the beginning of the document.
+%
+% The deferring has to be done because the command |\xtc@XXX| is to be
+% appended to
+% the command |\captionsXXX|. And the latter command may be undefined by now,
+% because the use of packages like |babel| or |german| may happen later
+% than the use of our package |xt_caps|.
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\newcommand{\xtc@init}[1]{%
+  \expandafter\ifx\csname xtc@#1\endcsname\relax
+    \expandafter\def\csname xtc@#1\endcsname{%
+      \xtc@use@lang{#1}}%
+    \expandafter\let\csname #1-cmd\endcsname\xtc@changed@lang
+    \ifx\@begindocumenthook\@undefined
+      \xtc@install{#1}%
+    \else
+      \AtBeginDocument{\xtc@install{#1}}%
+    \fi
+  \fi}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+%
+% The following macro will be called at the beginning of the document. Its
+% purpose is to install the extended caption mechanism for a given language
+% |XXX|. First of all, it is tested if there exists any support for the
+% language. This is done by looking at the existence of the command
+% |\captionsXXX|. If no support is given, a warning is raised. Otherwise we
+% append our |\xtc@XXX| command to |\captionsXXX|. Some care must be taken,
+% because the |\csname| command lets an unknown command to be |\relax|. We use
+% a group to restore the command to its previous value.
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\newcommand{\xtc@install}[1]{%
+  \begingroup\expandafter\endgroup
+  \expandafter\ifx\csname captions#1\endcsname\@undefined
+    \PackageWarningNoLine{xt_capts}{%
+      You haven't defined the language #1\space yet.\MessageBreak
+      Nevertheless, \string\UseCaption{#1}{\string\foo} will work}
+  \else
+    \expandafter\g@addto@macro\csname captions#1\expandafter\endcsname
+      \csname xtc@#1\endcsname
+  \fi}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \subsection{Default language}
+% To set the default language for the captions, we must check if different
+% languages are supported. If support is given, the current language is used
+% for the captions as well. If not, |english| is used. The code for doing this
+% selection is deferred until all other packages have executed their deferred
+% code. This is necessary, because language package may execute
+% |\selectlanguage| at the beginning of the document, too. It is important for
+% the caption implementation, that the default language of the captions is
+% defined after the actual language has been selected. Unfortunately, the
+% |\selectlanguage| command for a given language may be executed \emph{before}
+% |\xtc@XXX| has been installed or even before our package is loaded. One
+% candidate for this behavior is the |german| package, which does not defer
+% its |\selectlanguage| call. Therefore, we put our piece of code somewhere
+% \emph{after} the |\@begindocumenthook|.
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\AfterAtBeginDocument{%
+  \ifx\languagename\@undefined
+    \xtc@use@lang{english}%
+  \else
+    \xtc@use@lang\languagename
+  \fi}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+%
+% To prevent the default language |english| from producing an undesired warning
+% message, another piece of code it put into the
+% |\@begindocumenthook|. This piece lets |\captionsenglish| to be an empty
+% macro, if it is undefined and no language package is used at all. Because we
+% want to be sure that this code is executed \emph{before} any caption
+% language is installed, we put our piece of code at the head of the hook.
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\BeforeAtBeginDocument{%
+  \ifx\languagename\@undefined
+    \ifx\captionsenglish\@undefined
+      \let\captionsenglish\@empty
+    \fi
+  \fi}
+%    \end{macrocode}
