% \subsection{Saved versions of \TeX{} primitives}
%
%  The TeX primitive |\foo| is saved as |\@@foo|.
%  The following primitives are handled in this way:
% \begin{macro}{\@@par}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\let\@@par=\par
%\let\@@input=\input    %%% moved earlier
%\let\@@end=\end        %%%
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\@@hyph}
% \begin{macro}{\-}
% \changes{1.2x}{1995/12/13}{Documentation changed.}
%  The following comment was added when these commands were first set
%  up, 19 April 1986:
%  the |\-| command is redefined to allow it to work in the |\ttfamily|
%  type style, where automatic hyphenation is suppressed by setting
%  |\hyphenchar| to~$-1$. The original primitive \TeX{} definition is
%  saved as |\@@hyph| just in case anyone needs it.
%
%  There is a need for a robust command for a discretionary hyphen
%  since its exact representation depends on the glyphs available in
%  the current font.  For example, with suitable fonts and the
%  \texttt{T1} font encoding it is possible to use hanging hyphens.
%
%  A suitable robust definition that allows for many possible types of
%  font and encoding may be as follows:
%  \begin{verbatim}
%  \DeclareRobustCommand {\-}{%
%    \discretionary {%
%      \char \ifnum\hyphenchar\font<\z@
%              \defaulthyphenchar
%            \else
%              \hyphenchar\font
%            \fi
%                    }{}{}%
%  }
%  \end{verbatim}
%
%  The redefinition (via |\let|) of |\-| within tabbing also makes the
%  use of a robust command advisable since then any redefinition
%  of |\-| via |\DeclareRobustCommand| will not cause a conflict.
%  
%  Therefore, macro writers should be hereby warned that
%  these internals will probably change! It is likely that a future
%  release of \LaTeX{} will make |\-| effectively an encoding specific
%  text command.
% 
%    \begin{macrocode}
\let\@@hyph=\-        % Save original primitive definition
\def\-{\discretionary{-}{}{}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\@dischyph}
% \changes{v1.0g}{1994/04/12}
%         {Define \cs{@dischyph}, was previously in ltboxes.dtx}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\let\@dischyph=\-
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
%  \begin{macro}{\@@italiccorr}
% Save the original italic correction.
% \changes{v1.0a}{1994/03/07}{Macro added}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\let\@@italiccorr=\/
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%
%  \begin{macro}{\@height}
%  \begin{macro}{\@depth}
%  \begin{macro}{\@width}

%  \begin{macro}{\@plus}
% \changes{LaTeX2e}{1993/11/22}{Macro added}
%    
%    The following definitions save token space.  E.g., using
%    |\@height| instead of height saves 5 tokens at the cost in time
%    of one macro expansion.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\@height{height} \def\@depth{depth} \def\@width{width}
\def\@minus{minus}
\def\@plus{plus}
%    \end{macrocode}

% \changes{v1.2k}{1995/05/07}{Macro added}
%    The next one is another 100 tokens worth.

%
% \subsection{Command definitions}
%
% This section defines the following commands:
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  {\@namedef}\marg{NAME}\\ Expands to |\def\|\marg{NAME}, 
%   except name can contain any characters.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  {\@nameuse}\marg{NAME}\\
%   Expands to |\|\marg{NAME}.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  {\@ifnextchar} X\marg{YES}\marg{NO}\\
%    Expands to \meta{YES} if next character is an `X',
%          and to \meta{NO} otherwise. 
%          (Uses |\reserved@a|--|\reserved@c|.)
%          NOTE: GOBBLES ANY SPACE FOLLOWING IT.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  {\@ifstar}\marg{YES}\marg{NO}\\
%          Gobbles following spaces and then tests if next the
%          character is a '*'.  If it is, then it gobbles the
%   `*' and expands to \meta{YES}, otherwise it expands to \meta{NO}.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  {\@dblarg}\marg{CMD}\marg{ARG}\\
%     Expands to |\|\marg{CMD}\oarg{ARG}\marg{ARG}.  Use
%          |\@dblarg\CS| when |\CS| takes arguments |[ARG1]{ARG2}|,
%          where default is| ARG1| = |ARG2|.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  {\@ifundefined}\marg{NAME}\marg{YES}\marg{NO}\\
%          : If \cs{NAME} is undefined then it executes \meta{YES},
%            otherwise it executes \meta{NO}.  More precisely,
%            true if \cs{NAME} either undefined or = |\relax|.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  {\@ifdefinable}|\NAME|\marg{YES}
%       Executes \meta{YES} if the user is allowed to define |\NAME|,
%            otherwise it gives an error.  The user can define |\NAME|
%            if |\@ifundefined{NAME}| is true, '|NAME|' $\neq$ '|relax|'
%            and the first three letters of '|NAME|' are not
%           '|end|', and if |\endNAME| is not defined.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  \newcommand|*|\marg{\cs{FOO}}\oarg{i}\marg{TEXT}\\
%         User command to define |\FOO| to be a macro with
%            i arguments (i = 0 if missing) having the definition
%            \meta{TEXT}.  Produces an error if |\FOO| already
%            defined.
%
%            Normally the command is defined to be |\long| (ie it may
%            take multiple paragraphs in its argument). In the
%            star-form, the command is not defined as |\long| and a
%            blank line in any argument to the command would generate
%            an error.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  \renewcommand|*|\marg{\cs{FOO}}\oarg{i}\marg{TEXT}\\
%  Same as |\newcommand|, except it checks if |\FOO| already defined.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  \newenvironment|*|\marg{FOO}\oarg{i}\marg{DEF1}\marg{DEF2}\\
%         equivalent to:\\
%         |\newcommand{\FOO}[i]{DEF1}| |\def{\endFOO}{DEF2}|\\
% (or the appropriate star forms).
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  \renewenvironment\\ Obvious companion to |\newenvironment|.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  \@cons : See description of |\output| routine.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\@car}
%  |\@car T1 T2 ... Tn\@nil| == |T1|  (unexpanded)
%
% \DescribeMacro{\@cdr}
%  |\@cdr T1 T2 ... Tn\@ni|l == |T2 ... Tn|     (unexpanded)
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  \typeout\marg{message}\\ Produces a warning message on the terminal.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  \typein\marg{message}\\
%        Types message, asks the user to type in a command, then
%            executes it
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  \typein\oarg{\cs{CS}}\marg{MSG}\\
%  Same as above, except defines |\CS| to be the input
%                      instead of executing it.
%

%    These generate a primitive argument specification, from a

%    anything such that |\number|~\meta{digit} is single digit.
%
%    Reorganised slightly so that |\renewcommand{\reserved@a}[1]{foo}|

%    
%    Recall that \LaTeX2.09 goes into an infinite loop with
%    |\renewcommand[1]{\@tempa}{foo}| (DPC 6 October 93).
%
%    Reorganised again (DPC 1999). Rather than make a loop to
%    construct the argument spec by counting, just extract the
%    required argument spec by using a delimited argument (delimited
%    by the digit).  This is faster and uses less tokens. The coding
%    is slightly odd to preserve the old interface (using |#2| =
%    |\tw@| as the flag to surround the first argument with |[]|.  But
%    the new method did not allow for the number of arguments |#3| not
%    being given as an explicit digit; hence (further expansion of
%    this argument and use of) |\number| was added later in 1999.

%
% Fragile and robust commands are one of the thornier issues in
% \LaTeX's commands.  Whilst typesetting documents, \LaTeX{} makes use
% of many of \TeX's features, such as arithmetic, defining macros, and
% setting variables.  However, there are (at least) three different
% ocassions when these commands are not safe.  These are called
% `moving arguments' by \LaTeX, and consist of:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item writing information to a file, such as indexes or tables of
%    contents. 
% \item writing information to the screen.
% \item inside an |\edef|, |\message|, |\mark|, or other command which
%    evaluates its argument fully.
% \end{itemize}
% The method \LaTeX{} uses for making fragile commands robust is to
% precede them with |\protect|.  This can have one of five possible
% values: 
% \begin{itemize}
% \item |\relax|, for normal typesetting.  So |\protect\foo| will
%    execute |\foo|.
% \item |\string|, for writing to the screen.  So |\protect\foo| will
%    write |\foo|.
% \item |\noexpand|, for writing to a file.  So |\protect\foo| will
%    write |\foo| followed by a space.
% \item |\@unexpandable@protect|, for writing a moving argument to a
%    file.  So |\protect\foo| will write |\protect\foo| followed by a
%    space.  This value is also used inside |\edef|s, |\mark|s and
%    other commands which evaluate their arguments fully.
% \item |\@unexpandable@noexpand|, for performing a deferred write

%
% \begin{macro}{\DeclareRobustCommand}
% \begin{macro}{\declare@robustcommand}
%    This is a package-writers command, which has the same syntax as
%    |\newcommand|, but which declares a protected command.  It does
%    this by having\\
%    |\DeclareRobustCommand\foo|\\ 
%    define |\foo| to be
%    |\protect\foo<space>|,\\
%    and then use |\newcommand\foo<space>|.\\
%    Since the internal command is |\foo<space>|, when it is written
%    to an auxiliary file, it will appear as |\foo|.  
%    
%    We have to be a
%    bit cleverer if we're defining a short command, such as |\_|, in
%    order to make sure that the auxiliary file does not include a
%    space after the command, since |\_ a| and |\_a| aren't the same.
%    In this case we define |\_| to be:
%\begin{verbatim} 
%    \x@protect\_\protect\_<space>
%\end{verbatim}
%    which expands to:
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \ifx\protect\@typeset@protect\else
%       \@x@protect@\_
%    \fi
%    \protect\_<space>
%\end{verbatim}
%    Then if |\protect| is |\@typeset@protect| (normally |\relax|)
%    then we just perform |\_<space>|, and otherwise
%    |\@x@protect@| gobbles everything up and expands to
%    |\protect\_|. 
%
%    \emph{Note}: setting |\protect| to any value other than |\relax|
%    whilst in `typesetting' mode will cause commands to go into an
%    infinite loop!  In particular, setting |\relax| to |\@empty| will
%    cause |\_| to loop forever.  It will also break lots of other
%    things, such as protected |\ifmmode|s inside |\halign|s.  If you
%    really really have to do such a thing, then please set
%    |\@typeset@protect| to be |\@empty| as well.  (This is what the
%    code for |\patterns| does, for example.)
