%
% \subsection{Internal kernel functions}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_chk_cs_exist:N, \__kernel_chk_cs_exist:c}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_chk_cs_exist:N} \meta{cs}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This function is only created if debugging is enabled.  It checks
%   that \meta{cs} exists according to the criteria for
%   \cs{cs_if_exist_p:N}, and if not raises a kernel-level error.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_chk_defined:NT}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_chk_defined:NT} \meta{variable} \Arg{true code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   If \meta{variable} is not defined (according to
%   \cs{cs_if_exist:NTF}), this triggers an error, otherwise the
%   \meta{true code} is run.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_chk_expr:nNnN}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_chk_expr:nNnN} \Arg{expr} \meta{eval} \Arg{convert} \meta{caller}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This function is only created if debugging is enabled.  By default
%   it is equivalent to \cs{use_i:nnnn}.  When expression checking is
%   enabled, it leaves in the input stream the result of \cs{tex_the:D}
%   \meta{eval} \meta{expr} \cs{tex_relax:D} after checking that no
%   token was left over.  If any token was not taken as part of the
%   expression, there is an error message displaying the result of the
%   evaluation as well as the \meta{caller}.  For instance \meta{eval}
%   can be \cs{__int_eval:w} and \meta{caller} can be \cs{int_eval:n} or
%   \cs{int_set:Nn}.  The argument \meta{convert} is empty except for mu
%   expressions where it is \cs{tex_mutoglue:D}, used for internal
%   purposes.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_chk_tl_type:NnnT}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_chk_tl_type:NnnT} \meta{control sequence} \Arg{specific type} \\
%     \ \ \Arg{reconstruction} \Arg{true code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Helper to test that the \meta{control sequence} is a variable of the
%   given \meta{specific type} of token list.  Produces suitable error
%   messages if the \meta{control sequence} does not exist, or if it is
%   not a token list variable at all, or if the \meta{control sequence}
%   differs from the result of |x|-expanding \meta{reconstruction}.  If
%   all of these tests succeed then the \meta{true code} is run.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\__kernel_codepoint_to_bytes:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_codepoint_to_bytes:n} \Arg{codepoint}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Converts the \meta{codepoint} to UTF-8 bytes. The expansion
%   of this function comprises four brace groups, each of which will contain
%   a hexadecimal value: the appropriate byte. As UTF-8 is a variable-length,
%   one or more of the groups may be empty: the bytes read in the logical order,
%   such that a two-byte codepoint will have groups |#1| and |#2| filled
%   and |#3| and |#4| empty.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_cs_parm_from_arg_count:nnF}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_cs_parm_from_arg_count:nnF} \Arg{follow-on} \Arg{args} \Arg{false code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Evaluates the number of \meta{args} and leaves the \meta{follow-on} code
%   followed by a brace group containing the required number of primitive
%   parameter markers (|#1|, \emph{etc}.). If the number of \meta{args} is outside
%   the range $[0,9]$, the \meta{false code} is inserted \emph{instead} of
%   the \meta{follow-on}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{
%     \__kernel_dependency_version_check:Nn,
%     \__kernel_dependency_version_check:nn,
%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_dependency_version_check:Nn} \Arg{\cs{date}} \Arg{file}
%     \cs{__kernel_dependency_version_check:nn} \Arg{date} \Arg{file}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Checks if the loaded version of the \pkg{expl3} kernel is at least \meta{date},
%   required by \meta{file}.  If the kernel date is older than \meta{date}, the
%   loading of \meta{file} is aborted and an error is raised.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_deprecation_code:nn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_deprecation_code:nn} \Arg{error code} \Arg{working code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Stores both an \meta{error} and \meta{working} definition for given material
%   such that they can be exchanged by \cs{debug_on:} and \cs{debug_off:}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\__kernel_exp_not:w}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_exp_not:w} \meta{expandable tokens} \Arg{content}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Carries out expansion on the \meta{expandable tokens} before preventing
%   further expansion of the \meta{content} as for \cs{exp_not:n}. Typically,
%   the \meta{expandable tokens} will alter the nature of the \meta{content},
%   \emph{i.e.}~allow it to be generated in some way.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{variable}{\l__kernel_expl_bool}
%   A boolean which records the current code syntax status: \texttt{true} if
%   currently inside a code environment. This variable should only be
%   set by \cs{ExplSyntaxOn}/\cs{ExplSyntaxOff}.
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}{\c__kernel_expl_date_tl}
%   A token list containing the release date of the \pkg{l3kernel} preloaded
%   in \LaTeXe{} used to check if dependencies match.
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_file_missing:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_file_missing:n} \Arg{name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Expands the \meta{name} as per \cs{__kernel_file_name_sanitize:n} then
%   produces an error message indicating that this file was not found.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP,updated = 2021-04-17]{\__kernel_file_name_sanitize:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_file_name_sanitize:n} \Arg{name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Expands the file name using a \tn{csname}-based approach, and
%   relies on active characters (for example from UTF-8 characters)
%   being properly set up to expand to a expansion-safe version using
%   \cs{ifcsname}.  This is less conservative than the token-by-token
%   approach used before, but it is much faster.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_file_input_push:n, \__kernel_file_input_pop:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_file_input_push:n} \Arg{name}
%     \cs{__kernel_file_input_pop:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Used to push and pop data from the internal file stack: needed only
%   in package mode, where interfacing with the \LaTeXe{} kernel is necessary.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\__kernel_int_add:nnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_int_add:nnn} \Arg{integer_1} \Arg{integer_2} \Arg{integer_3}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Expands to the result of adding the three \meta{integers} (which
%   must be suitable input for \cs{int_eval:w}), avoiding intermediate
%   overflow.  Overflow occurs only if the overall result is outside
%   $[-2^{31}+1,2^{31}-1]$.  The \meta{integers} may be of the form
%   \cs{int_eval:w} \dots{} \cs{scan_stop:} but may be evaluated more
%   than once.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2018-03-31]{\__kernel_intarray_gset:Nnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_intarray_gset:Nnn} \meta{intarray~var} \Arg{index} \Arg{value}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Faster version of \cs{intarray_gset:Nnn}.  Stores the \meta{value}
%   into the \meta{integer array variable} at the \meta{position}.  The
%   \meta{index} and \meta{value} must be suitable for a direct
%   assignment to a \TeX{} count register, for instance expanding to an
%   integer denotation or obtained through the primitive \tn{numexpr}
%   (which may be un-terminated).  No bound checking is performed: the
%   caller is responsible for ensuring that the \meta{position} is
%   between $1$ and the \cs{intarray_count:N}, and the \meta{value}'s
%   absolute value is at most $2^{30}-1$.  Assignments are always
%   global.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP, added = 2018-03-31]{\__kernel_intarray_item:Nn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_intarray_item:Nn} \meta{intarray~var} \Arg{index}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Faster version of \cs{intarray_item:Nn}.  Expands to the integer
%   entry stored at the \meta{index} in the \meta{integer array
%   variable}.  The \meta{index} must be suitable for a direct
%   assignment to a \TeX{} count register and must be between $1$ and
%   the \cs{intarray_count:N}, lest a low-level \TeX{} error occur.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[rEXP, added = 2020-07-12]{\__kernel_intarray_range_to_clist:Nnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_intarray_range_to_clist:Nnn} \meta{intarray~var} \Arg{start index} \Arg{end index}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Converts to integer denotations separated by commas the entries of
%   the \meta{intarray} from positions \meta{start index} to \meta{end
%   index} included.  The \meta{start index} and \meta{end index} must
%   be suitable for a direct assignment to a \TeX{} count register, must
%   be between $1$ and the \cs{intarray_count:N}, and be suitably
%   ordered.  All tokens have category code other.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2020-07-12]{\__kernel_intarray_gset_range_from_clist:Nnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_intarray_gset_range_from_clist:Nnn} \meta{intarray~var} \Arg{start index} \Arg{integer clist}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Stores the entries of the \meta{clist} as entries of the
%   \meta{intarray~var} starting from the \meta{start index}, upwards.
%   This is done without any bound checking.  The \meta{start index} and
%   all entries of the \meta{integer comma list} (which do not undergo
%   space trimming and brace stripping as in normal clist mappings) must
%   be suitable for a direct assignment to a \TeX{} count register.  An
%   empty entry may stop the loop.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_ior_open:Nn, \__kernel_ior_open:No}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_ior_open:Nn} \meta{stream} \Arg{file name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This function has identical syntax to the public version. However,
%   is does not take precautions against active characters in the
%   \meta{file name}, and it does not attempt to add a \meta{path} to
%   the \meta{file name}: it is therefore intended to be used by
%   higher-level
%   functions which have already fully expanded the \meta{file name} and which
%   need to perform multiple open or close operations. See for example the
%   implementation of \cs{file_get_full_name:nN},
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_iow_with:Nnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_iow_with:Nnn} \meta{integer} \Arg{value} \Arg{code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   If the \meta{integer} is equal to the \meta{value} then this
%   function simply runs the \meta{code}.  Otherwise it saves the
%   current value of the \meta{integer}, sets it to the \meta{value},
%   runs the \meta{code}, and restores the \meta{integer} to its former
%   value.  This is used to ensure that the \tn{newlinechar} is~$10$
%   when writing to a stream, which lets \cs{iow_newline:} work, and
%   that \tn{errorcontextlines} is $-1$ when displaying a message.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{variable}{\__kernel_kern:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_kern:n} \Arg{length}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Inserts a kern of the specified \meta{length}, a dimension expression.
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}{\g__kernel_prg_map_int}
%   This integer is used by non-expandable mapping functions to track
%   the level of nesting in force.  The functions
%   \cs[no-index]{\meta{type}_map_1:w},
%   \cs[no-index]{\meta{type}_map_2:w}, \emph{etc.}, labelled by
%   \cs{g__kernel_prg_map_int}
%   hold functions to be mapped over various list datatypes in inline
%   and variable mappings.
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_quark_new_test:N}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_quark_new_test:N} \cs[no-index]{\meta{name}:\meta{arg spec}}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Defines a quark-test function \cs[no-index]{\meta{name}:\meta{arg spec}}
%   which tests if its argument is \cs[no-index]{q__\meta{namespace}_recursion_tail},
%   then acts accordingly, as described below for each possible
%   \meta{arg spec}.
%
%   The \meta{namespace} is determined as the first (nonempty)
%   |_|-delimited word in \meta{name} and is used internally
%   in the definition of auxiliaries.  The function
%   \cs{__kernel_quark_new_test:N} does \emph{not} define
%   the \cs[no-index]{q__\meta{namespace}_recursion_tail} and
%   \cs[no-index]{q__\meta{namespace}_recursion_stop} quarks.
%   They should be manually defined with \cs{quark_new:N}.
%
%   There are $6$ different types of quark-test functions. Which one is
%   defined depends on the \meta{arg spec}, which \emph{must} be one of
%   the options listed now.  Four of them are modeled after
%   \cs[no-index]{quark_if_recursion_tail:(N|n)} and
%   \cs[no-index]{quark_if_recursion_tail_do:(N|n)n}.
%   \begin{description}
%     \def\makelabel#1{\texttt{#1}}
%     \item[n]  defines \cs[no-index]{\meta{name}:n}  such that it
%       checks if |#1| contains only \cs[no-index]{q__\meta{namespace}_recursion_tail}, and
%       if so consumes all tokens up to \cs[no-index]{q__\meta{namespace}_recursion_stop}
%       (\emph{c.f.}~\cs{quark_if_recursion_tail_stop:n}).
%     \item[nn] defines \cs[no-index]{\meta{name}:nn} such that it
%       checks if |#1| contains only \cs[no-index]{q__\meta{namespace}_recursion_tail}, and
%       if so consumes all tokens up to \cs[no-index]{q__\meta{namespace}_recursion_stop},
%       then executes the code |#2| after that
%       (\emph{c.f.}~\cs{quark_if_recursion_tail_stop_do:nn}).
%     \item[N]  defines \cs[no-index]{\meta{name}:N}  such that it
%       checks if |#1| is \cs[no-index]{q__\meta{namespace}_recursion_tail}, and if so consumes
%       all tokens up to \cs[no-index]{q__\meta{namespace}_recursion_stop}
%       (\emph{c.f.}~\cs{quark_if_recursion_tail_stop:N}).
%     \item[Nn] defines \cs[no-index]{\meta{name}:Nn} such that it
%       checks if |#1| is \cs[no-index]{q__\meta{namespace}_recursion_tail}, and if so consumes
%       all tokens up to \cs[no-index]{q__\meta{namespace}_recursion_stop}, then executes
%       the code |#2| after that
%       (\emph{c.f.}~\cs{quark_if_recursion_tail_stop_do:Nn}).
%   \end{description}
%   The last two are modeled after
%   \cs[no-index]{quark_if_recursion_tail_break:(n|N)N}, and in those
%   cases the quark \cs[no-index]{q__\meta{namespace}_recursion_stop} is
%   not used (and thus needs not be defined).
%   \begin{description}
%     \def\makelabel#1{\texttt{#1}}
%     \item[nN] defines \cs[no-index]{\meta{name}:nN} such that it
%       checks if |#1| contains only \cs[no-index]{q__\meta{namespace}_recursion_tail}, and
%       if so uses the \cs[no-index]{\meta{type}_map_break:} function |#2|.
%     \item[NN] defines \cs[no-index]{\meta{name}:NN} such that it
%       checks if |#1| is \cs[no-index]{q__\meta{namespace}_recursion_tail}, and if so uses
%       the \cs[no-index]{\meta{type}_map_break:} function |#2|.
%   \end{description}
%   Any other signature, as well as a function without signature
%   are errors, and in such case the definition is aborted.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_quark_new_conditional:Nn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_quark_new_conditional:Nn} \cs[no-index]{__\meta{namespace}_quark_if_\meta{name}:\meta{arg spec}} \Arg{conditions}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Defines a collection of quark conditionals that test if their
%   argument is the quark \cs[no-index]{q__\meta{namespace}_\meta{name}}
%   and perform suitable actions.  The \meta{conditions} are a
%   comma-separated list of one or more of |p|, |T|, |F|, and |TF|, and
%   one conditional is defined for each \meta{condition} in the list, as
%   described for \cs{prg_new_conditional:Npnn}.  The conditionals are
%   defined using \cs{prg_new_conditional:Npnn}, so that their name is
%   obtained by adding |p|, |T|, |F|, or |TF| to the base name
%   \cs[no-index]{__\meta{namespace}_quark_if_\meta{name}:\meta{arg spec}}.
%
%   The first argument of \cs{__kernel_quark_new_conditional:Nn} must
%   contain |_quark_if_| and |:|, as these markers are used to determine
%   the \meta{name} of the quark
%   \cs[no-index]{q__\meta{namespace}_\meta{name}} to be tested.  This
%   quark should be manually defined with \cs{quark_new:N}, as
%   \cs{__kernel_quark_new_conditional:Nn} does \emph{not} define it.
%
%   The function \cs{__kernel_quark_new_conditional:Nn} can define $2$
%   different types of quark conditionals.  Which one is defined depends
%   on the \meta{arg spec}, which \emph{must} be one of the following
%   options, modeled after \cs[index=quark_if_nil:NTF]{quark_if_nil:(N|n)(TF)}.
%   \begin{description}
%     \def\makelabel#1{\texttt{#1}}
%     \item[n]  defines \cs[no-index]{__\meta{namespace}_quark_if_\meta{name}:n(TF)}  such that it
%       checks if |#1| contains only \cs[no-index]{q__\meta{namespace}_\meta{name}}, and
%       executes the proper conditional branch.
%     \item[N]  defines \cs[no-index]{__\meta{namespace}_quark_if_\meta{name}:N(TF)}  such that it
%       checks if |#1| is \cs[no-index]{q__\meta{namespace}_\meta{name}}, and
%       executes the proper conditional branch.
%   \end{description}
%   Any other signature, as well as a function without signature
%   are errors, and in such case the definition is aborted.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{variable}{\c__kernel_randint_max_int}
%   Maximal allowed argument to \cs{__kernel_randint:n}.  Equal to
%   $2^{17}-1$.
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_randint:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_randint:n} \Arg{max}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Used in an integer expression this gives a pseudo-random number
%   between $1$ and $\meta{max}$ included.  One must have
%   $\meta{max}\leq 2^{17}-1$.  The \meta{max} must be suitable for
%   \cs{int_value:w} (and any \cs{int_eval:w} must be terminated by
%   \cs{scan_stop:} or equivalent).
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_randint:nn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_randint:nn} \Arg{min} \Arg{max}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Used in an integer expression this gives a pseudo-random number
%   between $\meta{min}$ and $\meta{max}$ included.  The \meta{min} and
%   \meta{max} must be suitable for \cs{int_value:w} (and any
%   \cs{int_eval:w} must be terminated by \cs{scan_stop:} or
%   equivalent).  For small ranges
%   $R=\meta{max}-\meta{min}+1\leq 2^{17}-1$,
%   $\meta{min} - 1 + \cs{__kernel_randint:n} |{|R|}|$ is faster.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_register_show:N, \__kernel_register_show:c}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_register_show:N} \meta{register}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Used to show the contents of a \TeX{} register at the terminal, formatted
%   such that internal parts of the mechanism are not visible.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}
%   {\__kernel_register_log:N, \__kernel_register_log:c}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_register_log:N} \meta{register}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Used to write the contents of a \TeX{} register to the log file in a
%   form similar to \cs{__kernel_register_show:N}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\__kernel_str_to_other:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_str_to_other:n} \Arg{token list}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Converts the \meta{token list} to a \meta{other string}, where
%   spaces have category code \enquote{other}.  This function can be
%   \texttt{f}-expanded without fear of losing a leading space, since
%   spaces do not have category code $10$ in its result.  It takes a
%   time quadratic in the character count of the string.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[rEXP]{\__kernel_str_to_other_fast:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_str_to_other_fast:n} \Arg{token list}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Same behaviour \cs{__kernel_str_to_other:n} but only restricted-expandable.
%   It takes a time linear in the character count of the string.
