%
% \begin{documentation}
% 
% A key--value list is input of the form
%\begin{verbatim}
%  KeyOne = ValueOne ,
%  KeyTwo = ValueTwo ,
%  KeyThree          ,
%\end{verbatim} 
% where each key--value pair is separated by a comma from the rest of
% the list, and each key--value pair does not necessarily contain an
% equals sign or a value! Processing this type of input correctly 
% requires a number of careful steps, to correctly account for
% braces, spaces and the category codes of separators.
% 
% This module provides the low-level machinery for processing arbitrary
% key--value lists. The \pkg{l3keys} module provides a higher-level
% interface for managing run-time settings using key--value input,
% while other parts of \LaTeX3 also use key--value input based on
% \pkg{l3keyval} (for example the \pkg{xtemplate} module).
% 
%\section{Features of \pkg{l3keyval}} 
%
% As \pkg{l3keyval} is a low-level module, its functions are
% restricted to converting a \meta{keyval list} into keys and values
% for further processing. Each key and value (or key alone)
% has to be processed further by a function provided when
% \pkg{l3keyval} is called. Typically, this will be \emph{via}
% one of the \cs{KV_process\ldots} functions:
%\begin{verbatim}
%  \KV_process_space_removal_sanitize:NNn
%    \my_processor_function_one:n
%    \my_processor_function_two:nn
%    { <keyval list> }
%\end{verbatim} 
% The two processor functions here handle the cases where there is
% only a key, and where there is both a key and value, respectively.
% 
% \pkg{l3keyval} parses key--value lists in a manner that does not
% double "#" tokens or expand any input. The module has processor
% functions which will sanitize the category codes of \texttt{=}
% and \texttt{,} tokens (for use in the document body) as well
% as faster versions which do not do this (for use inside code
% blocks). Spaces can be removed from each end of the key and
% value (again for the document body), again with faster code
% to be used where this is not necessary. Values which are wrapped
% in braces will have exactly one set removed, meaning that
%\begin{verbatim}
%  key = {value here},
%\end{verbatim} 
% and 
%\begin{verbatim}
%  key = value here,
%\end{verbatim} 
% are treated as identical (assuming that space removal is in force).
% \pkg{l3keyval} 
% 
%\section{Functions for keyval processing}
%
% The \pkg{l3keyval} module should be accessed \emph{via} a small
% set of external functions. These correctly set up the module 
% internals for use by other parts of \LaTeX3.
% 
% In all cases, two functions have to be supplied by the programmer
% to apply to the items from the <keyval list> after \pkg{l3keyval}
% has separated out the entries. The first function should take
% one argument, and will receive the names of keys for which no
% value was supplied. The second function should take two arguments:
% a key name and the associated value. 
%
%\begin{function}{\KV_process_space_removal_sanitize:NNn}
%  \begin{syntax}
%    "\KV_process_space_removal_sanitize:NNn"
%    ~~~~<function 1> <function 2> \Arg{keyval list}
%  \end{syntax}
%  Parses the <keyval list> splitting it into keys and associated
%  values. Spaces are removed from the ends of both the key and
%  value by this function, and the category codes of non-braced
%  \texttt{=} and \texttt{,} tokens are normalised so that 
%  parsing is `category code safe'.  After parsing is completed, 
%  <function 1> is used to process keys without values and 
%  <function 2> deals with keys which have associated values. 
%\end{function}
%
%\begin{function}{\KV_process_space_removal_no_sanitize:NNn}
%  \begin{syntax}
%    "\KV_process_space_removal_no_sanitize:NNn"
%    ~~~~<function 1> <function 2> \Arg{keyval list}
%  \end{syntax}
%  Parses the <keyval list> splitting it into keys and associated
%  values. Spaces are removed from the ends of both the key and
%  value by this function, but category codes are not normalised.  
%  After parsing is completed, <function 1> is used to process keys 
%  without values and <function 2> deals with keys which have 
%  associated values. 
%\end{function}
%
%\begin{function}{\KV_process_no_space_removal_no_sanitize:NNn}
%  \begin{syntax}
%    "\KV_process_no_space_removal_no_sanitize:NNn"
%    ~~~~<function 1> <function 2> \Arg{keyval list}
%  \end{syntax}
%  Parses the <keyval list> splitting it into keys and associated
%  values. Spaces are \emph{not} removed from the ends of
%  the key and value, and category codes are \emph{not} normalised.  
%  After parsing is completed, <function 1> is used to process keys 
%  without values and <function 2> deals with keys which have 
%  associated values. 
%\end{function}
%
% \begin{variable}{\l_KV_remove_one_level_of_braces_bool}
%   This boolean controls whether or not one level of braces is
%   stripped from the key and value. The default value for this
%   boolean is \texttt{true} so that exactly one level of braces is
%   stripped. For certain applications it is desirable to keep the
%   braces in which case the programmer just has to set the boolean
%   false temporarily. Only applicable when spaces are being
%   removed.
% \end{variable}
%
%\section{Internal functions}
%
% The remaining functions provided by \pkg{l3keyval} do not
% have any protection for nesting of one call to the module 
% inside another. They should therefore not be called directly by
% other modules.
%
% \begin{function}{\KV_parse_no_space_removal_no_sanitize:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     "\KV_parse_no_space_removal_no_sanitize:n" \Arg{keyval list}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Parses the keys and values, passing the results to
%   \cs{KV_key_no_value_elt:n} and \cs{KV_key_value_elt:nn} as
%   appropriate. Spaces are not removed in the parsing process and
%   the category codes of \texttt{=} and \texttt{,} are not
%   normalised.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\KV_parse_space_removal_no_sanitize:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     "\KV_parse_space_removal_no_sanitize:n" \Arg{keyval list}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Parses the keys and values, passing the results to
%   \cs{KV_key_no_value_elt:n} and \cs{KV_key_value_elt:nn} as
%   appropriate. Spaces are removed in the parsing process from the
%   ends of the key and value, but the category codes of \texttt{=} 
%   and \texttt{,} are not normalised.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\KV_parse_space_removal_sanitize:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     "\KV_parse_space_removal_sanitize:n" \Arg{keyval list}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Parses the keys and values, passing the results to
%   \cs{KV_key_no_value_elt:n} and \cs{KV_key_value_elt:nn} as
%   appropriate. Spaces are removed in the parsing process from the
%   ends of the key and value and the category codes of \texttt{=} 
%   and \texttt{,} are normalised at the outer level 
%   (\emph{i.e}.~only unbraced tokens are affected).
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{
%     \KV_key_no_value_elt:n |
%     \KV_key_value_elt:nn
% }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     "\KV_key_no_value_elt:n" \Arg{key} \\
%     "\KV_key_value_elt:n"    \Arg{key} \Arg{value}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Used by \cs{KV_parse\ldots} functions to further process
%   keys with no values and keys with values, respectively. The
%   standard definitions are error functions: the programmer should
%   provide appropriate definitions for both at point of use.
% \end{function}
% 
%\section{Variables and constants}
%
%\begin{variable}{\c_KV_single_equal_sign_tl}

% \begin{macro}{\KV_add_value_element:w}
%   The macro |\KV_remove_surrounding_spaces:nw| removes a possible
%   leading space plus a possible ending space from its second
%   argument and stores it in the token register |#1|.
%
%   Based on Around the Bend No.~15 but with some enhancements. For
%   instance, this definition is purely expandable.
%
%   We use a funny token |Q|$\sb3$ as a delimiter.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\group_begin:
\char_set_catcode:nn{`\Q}{3}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new:Npn\KV_remove_surrounding_spaces:nw#1#2\q_nil{
%    \end{macrocode}
% The idea in this processing is to use a Q with strange catcode to
% remove a trailing space. But first, how to get this expansion going?
%
% If you have read the fine print in the \textsf{l3expan} module,
% you'll know that the |f| type expansion will expand until the first
% non-expandable token is seen and if this token is a space, it will
% be gobbled. Sounds useful for removing a leading space but we also
% need to make sure that it does nothing but removing that space!
% Therefore we prepend the argument to be trimmed with an
% |\exp_not:N|. Now why is that? |\exp_not:N| in itself is an
% expandable command so will allow the |f| expansion to continue. If
% the first token in the argument to be trimmed is a space, it will be
% gobbled and the expansion stop. If the first token isn't a space,
% the |\exp_not:N| turns it temporarily into |\scan_stop:| which is
% unexpandable. The processing stops but the token following directly
% after |\exp_not:N| is now back to normal.
%
% The function here allows you to insert arbitrary functions in the
% first argument but they should all be with an |f| type
% expansion. For the application in this module, we use
% |\tl_set:Nf|.
%
% Once the expansion has been kick-started, we apply
% |\KV_remove_surrounding_spaces_auxi:w| to the replacement text of
% |#2|, adding a leading |\exp_not:N|. Note that no braces are
% stripped off of the original argument.
%    \begin{macrocode}
  #1{\KV_remove_surrounding_spaces_auxi:w \exp_not:N#2Q~Q}
}
%    \end{macrocode}
% |\KV_remove_surrounding_spaces_auxi:w| removes a trailing space if
% present, then calls |\KV_remove_surrounding_spaces_auxii:w| to clean
% up any leftover bizarre Qs. In order for
% |\KV_remove_surrounding_spaces_auxii:w| to work properly we need to
% put back a Q first.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new:Npn\KV_remove_surrounding_spaces_auxi:w#1~Q{
  \KV_remove_surrounding_spaces_auxii:w #1 Q
}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Now all that is left to do is remove a leading space which should be
% taken care of by the function used to initiate the expansion. Simply
% return the argument before the funny Q.

%   The code below removes extraneous spaces around the keys and

%
%   Unlike the version to be used when spaces are ignored, this one

%   the rest for closer inspection. Reason is that if a user has
%   entered |mykey={{myval}},| then the outer braces have already been
