+This package provides macros to collect and process an macro argument (i.e.
+something which looks like a macro argument) as horizontal box instead as a real
+macro argument. These "arguments" will be stored like when using \savebox,
+\sbox or the lrbox environment and allow verbatim or other special code. Instead
+of explicit braces also implicit braces in the form of \bgroup and \egroup
+are supported. This allows to split the begin and end over different macros or to
+place them in the begin and end code of an environment. The provided macros are
+mainly intended to be used inside other macros or environments
