%
% Flags are the only data-type that can be modified in expansion-only
% contexts. This module is meant mostly for kernel use: in almost all
% cases, booleans or integers should be preferred to flags because they
% are very significantly faster.
%
% A flag can hold any non-negative value, which we call its
% \meta{height}. In expansion-only contexts, a flag can only be
% \enquote{raised}: this increases the \meta{height} by $1$. The \meta{height}
% can also be queried expandably. However, decreasing it, or setting it
% to zero requires non-expandable assignments.
%
% Flag variables are always local. They are referenced by a \meta{flag
% name} such as \texttt{str_missing}.  The \meta{flag name} is used as
% part of \cs{use:c} constructions hence is expanded at point of use.
% It must expand to character tokens only, with no spaces.
%
% A typical use case of flags would be to keep track of whether an
% exceptional condition has occurred during expandable processing, and
% produce a meaningful (non-expandable) message after the end of the
% expandable processing.  This is exemplified by \pkg{l3str-convert},
% which for performance reasons performs conversions of individual
% characters expandably and for readability reasons produces a single
% error message describing incorrect inputs that were encountered.
%
% Flags should not be used without carefully considering the fact that
% raising a flag takes a time and memory proportional to its height.
% Flags should not be used unless unavoidable.
%
% \section{Setting up flags}
%
% \begin{function}{\flag_new:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{flag_new:n} \Arg{flag name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Creates a new flag with a name given by \meta{flag name}, or raises
%   an error if the name is already taken. The \meta{flag name} may not
%   contain spaces. The declaration is global, but flags are always
%   local variables. The \meta{flag} initially has zero height.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\flag_clear:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{flag_clear:n} \Arg{flag name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   The \meta{flag}'s height is set to zero. The assignment is local.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\flag_clear_new:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{flag_clear_new:n} \Arg{flag name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Ensures that the \meta{flag} exists globally by applying
%   \cs{flag_new:n} if necessary, then applies \cs{flag_clear:n}, setting
%   the height to zero locally.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\flag_show:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{flag_show:n} \Arg{flag name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Displays the \meta{flag}'s height in the terminal.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\flag_log:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{flag_log:n} \Arg{flag name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Writes the \meta{flag}'s height to the log file.
% \end{function}
%
% \section{Expandable flag commands}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP,pTF]{\flag_if_exist:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{flag_if_exist:n} \Arg{flag name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This function returns \texttt{true} if the \meta{flag name}
%   references a flag that has been defined previously, and
%   \texttt{false} otherwise.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP,pTF]{\flag_if_raised:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{flag_if_raised:n} \Arg{flag name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This function returns \texttt{true} if the \meta{flag} has non-zero
%   height, and \texttt{false} if the \meta{flag} has zero height.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\flag_height:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{flag_height:n} \Arg{flag name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Expands to the height of the \meta{flag} as an integer denotation.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\flag_raise:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{flag_raise:n} \Arg{flag name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   The \meta{flag}'s height is increased by $1$ locally.

% \subsection{Non-expandable flag commands}
%
% The height $h$ of a flag (initially zero) is stored by setting control
% sequences of the form \cs[no-index]{flag \meta{name} \meta{integer}}
% to \tn{relax} for $0\leq\meta{integer}<h$.  When a flag is raised, a
% \enquote{trap} function \cs[no-index]{flag \meta{name}} is called.
% The existence of this function is also used to test for the existence
% of a flag.
%
% \begin{macro}{\flag_new:n}
%   For each flag, we define a \enquote{trap} function, which by default
%   simply increases the flag by $1$ by letting the appropriate control
%   sequence to \tn{relax}.  This can be done expandably!
