%                                                                                    %
% The elaborate and useful xkeyval package introduced \define@cmdkeys and            %
% \define@boolkeys, which allow for the setting of multiple command keys and         %
% boolean keys, but in each category those keys must have the same default value     %
% and no key macro/function. This package seeks to remove these restrictions,        %
% so that multiple keys of all categories (ordinary keys, command keys, boolean      %
% keys, and choice keys) can be set at one go and those keys can have different      %
% default values and functions. This greatly saves tokens, as hundreds of keys       %
% can, in principle, be issued simultaneously by one command.                        %
%                                                                                    %
% Also, the xkeyval package doesn't have the notion of complementary keys,           %
% which is useful in the case of boolean keys. The present package introduces        %
% this concept and additionally permits the submission of individual/different       %
% key macros to the complementary keys.                                              %
%                                                                                    %
