The package xassoccnt provides a way of associating counters to an 
existing driver counter, such incrementing the driver counter will increase
the associated counters as well. This package can be regarded as a supplement
to the totcount package by Vasileios Koutavas (http://www.ctan.org/pkg/totcount), but
can be used without it too.

As of 2015/11/07 xassoccnt does not supersedes the package assoccnt by the same author, however, 
the older package isn't declared obsolete as of 2015/11/07.


This first version provides a complete rewrite using `expl3` features

-- better handling of options (compared to assoccnt) and more macros
-- prevention of cross-association of driver and (already) associated counters
-- disabled self-association of a counter 
-- better checking if the macro arguments are counters
-- an autodefinition of counters if needed
-- improved suspension and resuming of counters
-- syncing of driver counters and associated counters after some special change
-- Improved documentation (compared to assoccnt)

Some notes:

-- calc and xassoccnt work together only if calc is loaded before `xassoccnt`
-- The `\PrettyCounterInfo` macros etc. has been removed.
