+% etextools focuses on purely expandability. The main contributions are :
+%
+% \expandaftercmds, \expandnext, \ExpandNext: vectorized form of \expandafter
+%
+% \FE@testopt,\FE@ifstar,\FE@ifchar,\FE@modifiers: define purely expandable
+% macros with option and/or star version or other modifiers.
+%
+% \DeclareStringFilter to compare strings in a purely expandable way.
+% count characters, replace in string, take care of blank spaces or not...
+%
+% \ifstrnum: to test if \number (or \romannumeral) will fail or not
+%
+% \futuredef: a macro (and vectorized) version of \futurelet.
