% \expkvd\ provides a small \kv\ interface to define keys for \expkv. Key-types
% are declared using prefixes, similar to static typed languages. The stylised
% name is \expkvd\ but the files use \file{expkv-def}, this is due to CTAN-rules
% which don't allow \string| in package names since that is the pipe symbol in *nix
% shells.

% \section{Documentation}
%
% Since the trend for the last couple of years goes to defining keys for a \kv\
% interface using a \kv\ interface, I thought that maybe providing such an
% interface for \expkv\ will make it more attractive for actual use, besides its
% unique selling points of being fully expandable, and fast and reliable. But at
% the same time I don't want to widen \expkv's initial scope. So here it is
% \expkvd, go define \kv\ interfaces with \kv\ interfaces.
%
% Unlike many of the other established \kv\ interfaces to define keys, \expkvd\
% works using prefixes instead of suffixes (\emph{e.g.}, |.tl_set:N| of
% \pkg{l3keys}) or directory like handlers (\emph{e.g.}, |/.store in| of
% \pkg{pgfkeys}). This was decided as a personal preference, more over in \TeX\
% parsing for the first space is way easier than parsing for the last one.
% \expkvd's prefixes are sorted into two categories: |p|-type, which are
% equivalent to \TeX's prefixes like |\long|, and |t|-type defining the type of
% the key. For a description of the available |p|-prefixes take a look at
% \autoref{sec:prefix:p}, the |t|-prefixes are described in
% \autoref{sec:prefix:t}.
%
% \expkvd\ is usable as generic code and as a \LaTeX\ package. It'll
% automatically load \expkv\ in the same mode as well. To use it, just use one
% of
% \begin{lstlisting}
% \usepackage{expkv-def} % LaTeX
% \input expkv-def       % plainTeX
% \end{lstlisting}
%
% \subsection{Macros}
% Apart from version and date containers there is only a single user-facing
% macro, and that should be used to define keys.
%
% \begin{function}{\ekvdefinekeys}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{ekvdefinekeys}\marg{set}\{\kv, \ldots\}
%   \end{syntax}
%   In \set, define \key\ to have definition \val. The general syntax for \key\
%   should be
%   \begin{quote}\ttfamily\small
%     \meta{prefix} \meta{name}
%   \end{quote}
%   Where \meta{prefix} is a space separated list of optional |p|-type prefixes
%   followed by one |t|-type prefix. The syntax of \val\ is dependent on the
%   used |t|-prefix.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\ekvdDate,\ekvdVersion}
%   These two macros store the version and date of the package.
% \end{function}
%
% \subsection{Prefixes}
% As already said there are |p|-prefixes and |t|-prefixes. Not every |p|-prefix
% is allowed for all |t|-prefixes.
%
% \subsubsection{\texttt{p}-Prefixes}\label{sec:prefix:p}
% The |p|-type prefixes are pretty simple by nature, so their description is
% pretty simple. They affect the \key\ at use-time, so omitting |long| doesn't
% mean that a \meta{definition} can't contain a |\par| token, only that the
% \key\ will not accept a |\par| in \val.
% \begin{function}{protected,protect}
%   The following key will be defined |\protected|. Note that key-types which
%   can't be defined expandable will always use |\protected|.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{long}
%   The following key will be defined |\long|.
% \end{function}
%
% \subsubsection{\texttt{t}-Prefixes}\label{sec:prefix:t}
% Since the |p|-type prefixes apply to some of the |t|-prefixes automatically
% but sometimes one might be disallowed we need some way to highlight this
% behaviour. In the following an enforced prefix will be printed black
% (\texttt{\enfprot}), allowed prefixes will be grey (\texttt{\allprot}), and
% disallowed prefixes will be red (\texttt{\notprot}). This will be put
% flush-right in the syntax showing line.
%
% \begin{function}{code,ecode}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     code \key\ = \marg{definition} \prefixes22
%   \end{syntax}
%   Define \key\ to expand to \meta{definition}. The \key\ will require a \val\
%   for which you can use |#1| inside \meta{definition}. The |ecode| variant
%   will fully expand \meta{definition} inside an |\edef|.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{noval,enoval}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     noval \key\ = \marg{definition} \prefixes23
%   \end{syntax}
%   The |noval| type defines \key\ to expand to \meta{definition}. The \key\
%   will not take a \val. |enoval| fully expands \meta{definition} inside an
%   |\edef|.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{default,qdefault,edefault}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     default \key\ = \marg{definition} \prefixes23
%   \end{syntax}
%   This serves to place a default \val\ for a \key\ that takes an argument, the
%   \key\ can be of any argument-grabbing kind, and when used without a \val\
%   it will be passed \meta{definition} instead. The |qdefault| variant will
%   expand the \key's code once, so will be slightly quicker, but not change if
%   you redefine \key. The |edefault| on the other hand fully expands the
%   \key-code with \meta{definition} as its argument inside of an |\edef|.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{initial}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     initial \key\ = \{\val\} \prefixes33
%   \end{syntax}
%   With |initial| you can set an initial \val\ for an already defined argument
%   taking \key. It'll just call the key-macro of \key\ and pass it \val.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{bool,gbool,boolTF,gboolTF}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     bool \key\ = \meta{cs} \prefixes23
%   \end{syntax}
%   The \meta{cs} should be a single control sequence, such as |\iffoo|.
%   This will define \key\ to be a boolean key, which only takes the values
%   |true| or |false| and will throw an error for other values. If the key is
%   used without a \val\ it'll have the same effect as if you use
%   \texttt{\key=true}. |bool| and |gbool| will behave like \TeX-ifs so either
%   be |\iftrue| or |\iffalse|. The |boolTF| and |gboolTF| variants will both
%   take two arguments and if true the first will be used else the second, so
%   they are always either |\@firstoftwo| or |\@secondoftwo|. The variants with
%   a leading |g| will set the control sequence globally, the others locally. If
%   \meta{cs} is not yet defined it'll be initialised as the |false| version.
%   Note that the initialisation is \emph{not} done with |\newif|, so you will
%   not be able to do |\footrue| outside of the \kv\ interface, but you could
%   use |\newif| yourself. Even if the \key\ will not be |\protected| the
%   commands which execute the |true| or |false| choice will be, so the usage
%   should be safe in an expansion context (\emph{e.g.}, you can use
%   \texttt{edefault \key\ = false} without an issue to change the default
%   behaviour to execute the |false| choice).
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{store,estore,gstore,xstore}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     store \key\ = \meta{cs} \prefixes12
%   \end{syntax}
%   The \meta{cs} should be a single control sequence, such as |\foo|.
%   This will define \key\ to store \val\ inside of the control sequence. If
%   \meta{cs} isn't yet defined it will be initialised as empty. The variants
%   behave similarly to their |\def|, |\edef|, |\gdef|, and |\xdef|
%   counterparts, but |store| and |gstore| will allow you to store macro
%   parameters inside of them by using |\unexpanded|.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{int,eint,gint,xint}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     int \key\ = \meta{cs} \prefixes12
%   \end{syntax}
%   The \meta{cs} should be a single control sequence, such as |\foo|.
%   An |int| key will be a \TeX-count register. If \meta{cs} isn't defined yet,
%   |\newcount| will be used to initialise it. The |eint| and |xint| versions
%   will use |\numexpr| to allow basic computations in their \val. The |gint|
%   and |xint| variants set the register globally.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{dimen,edimen,gdimen,xdimen}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     dimen \key\ = \meta{cs} \prefixes12
%   \end{syntax}
%   The \meta{cs} should be a single control sequence, such as |\foo|.
%   This is just like |int| but uses a dimen register, |\newdimen| and
%   |\dimexpr| instead.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{skip,eskip,gskip,xskip}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     skip \key\ = \meta{cs} \prefixes12
%   \end{syntax}
%   The \meta{cs} should be a single control sequence, such as |\foo|.
%   This is just like |int| but uses a skip register, |\newskip| and |\glueexpr|
%   instead.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{toks,gtoks,apptoks,gapptoks}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     toks \key\ = \meta{cs} \prefixes12
%   \end{syntax}
%   The \meta{cs} should be a single control sequence, such as |\foo|. 
%   Store \val\ inside of a toks-register. The |g| variants use |\global|, the
%   |app| variants append \val\ to the contents of that register. If \meta{cs}
%   is not yet defined it will be initialised with |\newtoks|.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{box,gbox}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     box \key\ = \meta{cs} \prefixes12
%   \end{syntax}
%   The \meta{cs} should be a single control sequence, such as |\foo|.
%   Typesets \val\ into a |\hbox| and stores the result in a box register. The
%   boxes are colour safe. \expkvd\ doesn't provide a |vbox| type.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{meta}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     meta \key\ = \{\kv, \ldots\} \prefixes22
%   \end{syntax}
%   This key type can set other keys, you can access the \val\ which was passed
%   to \key\ inside the \kv\ list with |#1|. It works by calling a sub-|\ekvset|
%   on the \kv\ list, so a |set| key will only affect that \kv\ list and not the
%   current |\ekvset|.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{nmeta}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     nmeta \key\ = \{\kv, \ldots\} \prefixes23
%   \end{syntax}
%   This key type can set other keys, the difference to |meta| is, that this key
%   doesn't take a value, so the \kv\ list is static.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{smeta}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     smeta \key\ = \marg{set}\{\kv, \ldots\} \prefixes22
%   \end{syntax}
%   Yet another |meta| variant. An |smeta| key will take a \val\ which you can
%   access using |#1|, but it sets the \kv\ list inside of \set, so is equal to
%   \texttt{\cs[no-index]{ekvset}\marg{set}\{\kv, \ldots\}}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{snmeta}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     snmeta \key\ = \marg{set}\{\kv, \ldots\} \prefixes23
%   \end{syntax}
%   And the last |meta| variant. |snmeta| is a combination of |smeta| and
%   |nmeta|. It doesn't take an argument and sets the \kv\ list inside of \set.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{set}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     set \key\ = \marg{set} \prefixes33
%   \end{syntax}
%   This will define \key\ to change the set of the current |\ekvset|
%   invocation to \set. You can omit \set\ (including the equals sign),
%   which is the same as using \texttt{set \key\ = \{\key\}}. The created |set|
%   key will not take a \val. Note that just like in \expkv\ it'll not be
%   checked whether \set\ is defined and you'll get a low-level \TeX\ error if
%   you use an undefined \set.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{choice}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     choice \key\ = \{\val=\meta{definition}, \ldots\} \prefixes23
%   \end{syntax}
%   Defines \key\ to be a |choice| key, meaning it will only accept a limited
%   set of values. You should define each possible \val\ inside of the
%   \val=\meta{definition} list. If a defined \val\ is passed to \key\ the
%   \meta{definition} will be left in the input stream. You can make
%   individual values |protected| inside the \val=\meta{definition} list. By
%   default a |choice| key is expandable, an undefined \val\ will throw an error
%   in an expandable way.
% \end{function}

% |\ekvd@err@choice@invalid| will have to use this mechanism to throw its
