Copyright (C) 2018-2019 by Jonathan P. Spratte

The package provides

 - `\grabbox<*>[<prepre>]{<register>}[<pre>]{<mode>}[<post>]{<next>}`: grab the
   next argument as a box in `<mode>` (`\hbox`, `\vbox` or `\vtop`) and save it
   in box `<register>`. After the box is saved execute `<next>`. Inside of the
   box one can inject `<prepre>` and `<pre>` before the contents and `<post>`
   after them. If the star is not given spaces are stripped from the start and
   the end of the box.
