%
% The \textsf{coollist} package is a ``sub" package of the \textsf{cool} package that seemed appropriate to publish
% independently since it may occur that one wishes to include the ability to manipulate lists without having to accept 
% all the overhead of the \textsf{cool} package itself.
%
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%\section{Basics}
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% Lists are defined as a sequence of tokens separated by a comma.  The \textsf{coollist} package allows the user
% to access certain elements of the list while neglecting others---essentially turning lists into a sort of
% array. 
%
% List elements are accessed by specifying the position of the object within the list (the index of the item) and
% all lists start indexing at |1|.
%
%

%\section{Commands \& Descriptions}
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\setlistStop}
% \DescribeMacro{\setlistEnd}
% |\setlistStop|\marg{string} and |\setlistEnd|\marg{string} allow the user to set the end of a list
% `character' in the rare event that the default values actually appear in the list.
% |listStop| is used to identify when the list actually terminates, while |listEnd| forces the reading macro to
% take in the entire list (without both entities, errors would occur if macros were included in the list).
%
% The default values are
%
% \begin{tabular}{ll}
% |listStop|    & \makeatletter |@@| \makeatother                       \\
% |listEnd|     & \makeatletter |@@@| \makeatother
% \end{tabular}
%
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\listval}
% |\listval|\marg{list}\marg{index} returns the \meta{index} item of the comma delimited list \meta{list} 
% or nothing if \meta{index} is outside the number of elements of the list.  
% The first element of the list has index $1$.
%
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\liststore}
% |\liststore|\marg{list}\marg{macro\_base\_name} stores the elements of comma delimited list \meta{list}
% in a set of macros having the first part of \meta{macro\_base\_name} and ending with the roman numermal
% index of the list.
%
% For example, |\liststore{1,2,3}{list}| would define |\listi|, |\listii|, and |\listiii| each
% holding |1|, |2|, |3|, respectively.
%
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\listlen}
% |\listlen|\marg{list} returns the length of the comma delimited list \meta{list}, though it is not useful for 
% storing this length.  
% If you need to record the list's length for later use, it is better to use the function |\listlenstore|.
%
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\listlenstore}
% |\listlenstore|\marg{counter}\marg{list} stores the length of the comma delimited list \meta{list} is the counter
% \meta{counter}.
%
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\listcopy}
% |\listcopy|\marg{listtocopy}\marg{listcopybase} stores the elements of \meta{listtocopy} into the list
% \meta{listtocopybase}.
%
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\listsum}
% |\listsum|\oarg{storedlist}\marg{list}\marg{macro} stores the sum of the comma delimited list \meta{list} 
% (if \meta{storedlist} is |storedlist=false|) or the sum of the stored list with base name \meta{list} 
% (if \meta{storedlist} is |storedlist=true|) in the macro \meta{macro}.  
% Integers are recognized and summed accordingly.  All other tokens are summed as variables with some
% integer coefficient as the end result.
