%
% \section{Important notice}
%
% This module provides a space in which functions can be added to
% \pkg{l3kernel} (\pkg{expl3}) while still being experimental.
% \begin{quote}
%  \bfseries
% As such, the
% functions here may not remain in their current form, or indeed at all,
% in \pkg{l3kernel} in the future.
% \end{quote}
%  In contrast to the material in
% \pkg{l3experimental}, the functions here are all \emph{small} additions to
% the kernel. We encourage programmers to test them out and report back on
% the \texttt{LaTeX-L} mailing list.
%
% \medskip
%
%   Thus, if you intend to use any of these functions from the candidate module in a public package
%  offered to others for productive use (e.g., being placed on CTAN) please consider the following points carefully:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item Be prepared that your public packages might require updating when such functions
%        are being finalized.
% \item Consider informing us that you use a particular function in your public package, e.g., by
%         discussing this on the \texttt{LaTeX-L}
%    mailing list. This way it becomes easier to coordinate any updates necessary without issues
%    for the users of your package.
% \item Discussing and understanding use cases for a particular addition or concept also helps to
%         ensure that we provide the right interfaces in the final version so please give us feedback
%         if you consider a certain candidate function useful (or not).
% \end{itemize}
% We only add functions in this space if we consider them being serious candidates for a final inclusion
% into the kernel. However, real use sometimes leads to better ideas, so functions from this module are
% \textbf{not necessarily stable} and we may have to adjust them!
%
% \section{Additions to \pkg{l3basics}}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2017-07-16, updated = 2017-08-02]{\debug_on:n, \debug_off:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{debug_on:n} |{| \meta{comma-separated list} |}|
%     \cs{debug_off:n} |{| \meta{comma-separated list} |}|
%   \end{syntax}
%   Turn on and off within a group various debugging code, some of which
%   is also available as \pkg{expl3} load-time options.  The items that
%   can be used in the \meta{list} are
%   \begin{itemize}
%     \item \texttt{check-declarations} that checks all \pkg{expl3}
%       variables used were previously declared and that local/global
%       variables (based on their name or on their first assignment) are
%       only locally/globally assigned;
%     \item \texttt{check-expressions} that checks integer, dimension,
%       skip, and muskip expressions are not terminated prematurely;
%     \item \texttt{deprecation} that makes soon-to-be-deprecated commands produce errors;
%     \item \texttt{log-functions} that logs function definitions;
%     \item \texttt{all} that does all of the above.
%   \end{itemize}
%   Providing these as switches rather than options allows testing code
%   even if it relies on other packages: load all other packages, call
%   \cs{debug_on:n}, and load the code that one is interested in
%   testing.  These functions can only be used in \LaTeXe{} package mode
%   loaded with \texttt{enable-debug} or another option implying it.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2017-11-28]{\debug_suspend:, \debug_resume:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{debug_suspend:} \ldots{} \cs{debug_resume:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Suppress (locally) errors and logging from \texttt{debug} commands,
%   except for the \texttt{deprecation} errors or warnings.  These pairs
%   of commands can be nested.  This can be used around pieces of code
%   that are known to fail checks, if such failures should be ignored.
%   See for instance \pkg{l3coffins}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2017-07-04]{\mode_leave_vertical:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{mode_leave_vertical:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Ensures that \TeX{} is not in vertical (inter-paragraph) mode. In
%   horizontal or math mode this command has no effect, in vertical mode it
%   switches to horizontal mode, and inserts a box of width
%   \tn{parindent}, followed by the \tn{everypar} token list.
%   \begin{texnote}
%     This results in the contents of the \tn{everypar} token register being
%     inserted, after \cs{mode_leave_vertical:} is complete. Notice that in
%     contrast to the \LaTeXe{} \tn{leavevmode} approach, no box is used
%     by the method implemented here.
%   \end{texnote}
% \end{function}
%
% \section{Additions to \pkg{l3box}}
%
% \subsection{Viewing part of a box}
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2019-01-23]
%   {\box_clip:N, \box_clip:c, \box_gclip:N, \box_gclip:c}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{box_clip:N} \meta{box}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Clips the \meta{box} in the output so that only material inside the
%   bounding box is displayed in the output. The updated \meta{box} is an
%   hbox, irrespective of the nature of the \meta{box} before the clipping is
%   applied.
%
%   \textbf{These functions require the \LaTeX3 native drivers: they do
%   not work with the \LaTeXe{} \pkg{graphics} drivers!}
%
%   \begin{texnote}
%     Clipping is implemented by the driver, and as such the full content of
%     the box is placed in the output file. Thus clipping does not remove
%     any information from the raw output, and hidden material can therefore
%     be viewed by direct examination of the file.
%   \end{texnote}
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2019-01-23]
%   {
%     \box_set_trim:Nnnnn, \box_set_trim:cnnnn,
%     \box_gset_trim:Nnnnn, \box_gset_trim:cnnnn
%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{box_set_trim:Nnnnn} \meta{box} \Arg{left} \Arg{bottom} \Arg{right} \Arg{top}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Adjusts the bounding box of the \meta{box} \meta{left} is removed from
%   the left-hand edge of the bounding box, \meta{right} from the right-hand
%   edge and so fourth. All adjustments are \meta{dimension expressions}.
%   Material outside of the bounding box is still displayed in the output
%   unless \cs{box_clip:N} is subsequently applied.
%   The updated \meta{box} is an
%   hbox, irrespective of the nature of the \meta{box} before the trim
%   operation is applied.
%   The behavior of the operation where the trims requested is
%   greater than the size of the box is undefined.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2019-01-23]
%   {
%     \box_set_viewport:Nnnnn, \box_set_viewport:cnnnn,
%     \box_gset_viewport:Nnnnn, \box_gset_viewport:cnnnn
%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{box_set_viewport:Nnnnn} \meta{box} \Arg{llx} \Arg{lly} \Arg{urx} \Arg{ury}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Adjusts the bounding box of the \meta{box} such that it has lower-left
%   co-ordinates (\meta{llx}, \meta{lly}) and upper-right co-ordinates
%   (\meta{urx}, \meta{ury}). All four co-ordinate positions are
%   \meta{dimension expressions}. Material outside of the bounding box is
%   still displayed in the output unless \cs{box_clip:N} is
%   subsequently applied.
%   The updated \meta{box} is an
%   hbox, irrespective of the nature of the \meta{box} before the viewport
%   operation is applied.
% \end{function}
%
% \section{Additions to \pkg{l3expan}}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2018-04-04, updated = 2019-02-08]
%   {\exp_args_generate:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{exp_args_generate:n} \Arg{variant argument specifiers}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Defines \cs[no-index]{exp_args:N\meta{variant}} functions for each
%   \meta{variant} given in the comma list \Arg{variant argument
%   specifiers}.  Each \meta{variant} should consist of the letters |N|,
%   |c|, |n|, |V|, |v|, |o|, |f|, |e|, |x|, |p| and the resulting function is
%   protected if the letter |x| appears in the \meta{variant}.  This is
%   only useful for cases where \cs{cs_generate_variant:Nn} is not
%   applicable.
% \end{function}
%
% \section{Additions to \pkg{l3fp}}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP, added = 2018-11-03]{logb}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{fp_eval:n} \{ |logb(| \meta{fpexpr} |)| \}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Determines the exponent of the \meta{fpexpr}, namely the floor of
%   the base-$10$ logarithm of its absolute value.  \enquote{Division by
%   zero} occurs when evaluating $\operatorname{logb}(\pm 0) = -\infty$.
%   Other special values are $\operatorname{logb}(\pm\infty)=+\infty$
%   and $\operatorname{logb}(\nan{})=\nan{}$.  If the operand is a tuple
%   or is \nan{}, then \enquote{invalid operation} occurs and the result
%   is \nan{}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP, added = 2018-11-03]{\fp_sign:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{fp_sign:n} \Arg{fpexpr}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Evaluates the \meta{fpexpr} and leaves its sign in the input stream
%   using \cs{fp_eval:n} |{sign(|\meta{result}|)}|: $+1$ for positive
%   numbers and for $+\infty$, $-1$ for negative numbers and for
%   $-\infty$, $\pm 0$ for $\pm 0$.  If the operand is a tuple or is
%   \nan{}, then \enquote{invalid operation} occurs and the result
%   is~$0$.
% \end{function}
%
% \section{Additions to \pkg{l3fparray}}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2018-05-05]{\fparray_new:Nn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{fparray_new:Nn} \meta{fparray~var} \Arg{size}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Evaluates the integer expression \meta{size} and allocates an
%   \meta{floating point array variable} with that number of (zero)
%   entries.  The variable name should start with |\g_| because
%   assignments are always global.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP, added = 2018-05-05]{\fparray_count:N}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{fparray_count:N} \meta{fparray~var}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Expands to the number of entries in the \meta{floating point array
%   variable}.  This is performed in constant time.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2018-05-05]{\fparray_gset:Nnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{fparray_gset:Nnn} \meta{fparray~var} \Arg{position} \Arg{value}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Stores the result of evaluating the floating point expression
%   \meta{value} into the \meta{floating point array variable} at the
%   (integer expression) \meta{position}.  If the \meta{position} is not
%   between $1$ and the \cs{fparray_count:N}, an error occurs.
%   Assignments are always global.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2018-05-05]{\fparray_gzero:N}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{fparray_gzero:N} \meta{fparray~var}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Sets all entries of the \meta{floating point array variable} to
%   $+0$.  Assignments are always global.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP, added = 2018-05-05]
%   {\fparray_item:Nn, \fparray_item_to_tl:Nn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{fparray_item:Nn} \meta{fparray~var} \Arg{position}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Applies \cs{fp_use:N} or \cs{fp_to_tl:N} (respectively) to the
%   floating point entry stored at the (integer expression)
%   \meta{position} in the \meta{floating point array variable}.  If the
%   \meta{position} is not between $1$ and the \cs{fparray_count:N}, an
%   error occurs.
% \end{function}
%
% \section{Additions to \pkg{l3file}}
%
% \begin{function}[noTF, added = 2017-07-11, updated = 2019-02-16]
%   {\file_get_mdfive_hash:nN}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{file_get_mdfive_hash:nN} \Arg{file name} \meta{tl var}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Searches for \meta{file name} using the current \TeX{} search
%   path and the additional paths controlled by \cs{file_path_include:n}.
%   If found, sets the \meta{str var} to the MD5 sum generated from the
%   content of the file. The file is read as bytes, which means that in
%   contrast to most \TeX{} behaviour there will be a difference in result
%   depending on the line endings used in text files. The same file will
%   produce the same result between different engines: the algorithm used
%   is the same in all cases.
%   Where the file is not found, the \meta{str var} will be empty.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[noTF, added = 2017-07-09, updated = 2019-02-16]
%   {\file_get_size:nN}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{file_get_size:nN} \Arg{file name} \meta{tl var}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Searches for \meta{file name} using the current \TeX{} search
%   path and the additional paths controlled by \cs{file_path_include:n}.
%   If found, sets the \meta{str var} to the size of the file in bytes.
%   Where the file is not found, the \meta{str var} will be empty.
%   This is not available in older versions of \XeTeX{}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[noTF, added = 2017-07-09, updated = 2019-02-16]
%   {\file_get_timestamp:nN}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{file_get_timestamp:nN} \Arg{file name} \meta{tl var}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Searches for \meta{file name} using the current \TeX{} search
%   path and the additional paths controlled by \cs{file_path_include:n}.
%   If found, sets the \meta{str var} to the modification timestamp of
%   the file in the form |D:|\meta{year}\meta{month}\meta{day}\meta{hour}^^A
%   \meta{minute}\meta{second}\meta{offset}, where the latter may be |Z|
%   (UTC) or \meta{plus-minus}\meta{hours}|'|\meta{minutes}|'|.
%   Where the file is not found, the \meta{str var} will be empty.
%   This is not available in older versions of \XeTeX{}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2014-07-02]{\file_if_exist_input:n, \file_if_exist_input:nF}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{file_if_exist_input:n} \Arg{file name}
%     \cs{file_if_exist_input:nF} \Arg{file name} \Arg{false code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Searches for \meta{file name} using the current \TeX{} search
%   path and the additional paths controlled by
%   \cs{file_path_include:n}. If found then
%   reads in the file as additional \LaTeX{} source as described for
%   \cs{file_input:n}, otherwise inserts the \meta{false code}.
%   Note that these functions do not raise
%   an error if the file is not found, in contrast to \cs{file_input:n}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2017-07-07]{\file_input_stop:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{file_input_stop:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Ends the reading of a file started by \cs{file_input:n} or similar before
%   the end of the file is reached. Where the file reading is being terminated
%   due to an error, \cs{msg_critical:nn(nn)} should be preferred.
%   \begin{texnote}
%     This function must be used on a line on its own: \TeX{} reads files
%     line-by-line and so any additional tokens in the \enquote{current} line
%     will still be read.
%
%     This is also true if the function is hidden inside another function
%     (which will be the normal case), i.e., all tokens on the same line
%     in the source file are still processed. Putting it on a line by itself
%     in the definition doesn't help as it is the line where it is used that
%     counts!
%   \end{texnote}
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2019-01-13]{\ior_map_variable:NNn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{ior_map_variable:NNn} \meta{stream} \meta{tl~var} \Arg{code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   For each set of \meta{lines} obtained by calling \cs{ior_get:NN}
%   until reaching the end of the file, stores the \meta{lines} in the
%   \meta{tl~var} then applies the \meta{code}.  The \meta{code} will
%   usually make use of the \meta{variable}, but this is not enforced.
%   The assignments to the \meta{variable} are local.  \TeX{} ignores
%   any trailing new-line marker from the file it reads.
%   This function is typically faster than \cs{ior_map_inline:Nn}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2019-01-13]{\ior_str_map_variable:NNn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{ior_str_map_variable:NNn} \meta{stream} \meta{tl~var} \Arg{code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   For each \meta{line} in the \meta{stream}, stores the \meta{line} in
%   the \meta{tl~var} then applies the \meta{code}.  The material is
%   read from the \meta{stream} as a series of tokens with category code
%   $12$ (other), with the exception of space characters which are given
%   category code $10$ (space).  The \meta{code} will usually make use
%   of the \meta{variable}, but this is not enforced.  The assignments
%   to the \meta{variable} are local.  Note that \TeX{} removes trailing
%   space and tab characters (character codes 32 and 9) from every line
%   upon input.  \TeX{} also ignores any trailing new-line marker from
%   the file it reads.
%   This function is typically faster than \cs{ior_str_map_inline:Nn}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2018-12-29]{\iow_allow_break:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{iow_allow_break:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   In the first argument of \cs{iow_wrap:nnnN} (for instance in
%   messages), inserts a break-point that allows a line break.
%   In other words this is a zero-width breaking space.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2019-03-23]{\ior_get_term:nN, \ior_str_get_term:nN}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{ior_get_term:nN} \meta{prompt} \meta{token list variable}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Function that reads one or more lines (until an equal number of left
%   and right braces are found) from the terminal and stores
%   the result locally in the \meta{token list} variable. Tokenization
%   occurs as described for \cs{ior_get:NN} or \cs{ior_str_get:NN}, respectively.
%   When the \meta{prompt}
%   is empty, \TeX{} will wait for input without any other indication:
%   typically the programmer will have provided a suitable text using
%   e.g.~\cs{iow_term:n}. Where the \meta{prompt} is given, it will appear
%   in the terminal followed by an |=|, e.g.
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     prompt=
%   \end{verbatim}
% \end{function}
%
% \section{Additions to \pkg{l3flag}}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP, added = 2018-04-02]{\flag_raise_if_clear:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{flag_raise_if_clear:n} \Arg{flag name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Ensures the \meta{flag} is raised by making its height at least~$1$,
%   locally.
% \end{function}
%
% \section{Additions to \pkg{l3int}}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP, added = 2018-11-03]{\int_sign:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{int_sign:n} \Arg{intexpr}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Evaluates the \meta{integer expression} then leaves $1$ or $0$ or
%   $-1$ in the input stream according to the sign of the result.
% \end{function}
%
% \section{Additions to \pkg{l3intarray}}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2018-05-05]{\intarray_gset_rand:Nnn, \intarray_gset_rand:Nn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{intarray_gset_rand:Nnn} \meta{intarray~var} \Arg{minimum} \Arg{maximum}
%     \cs{intarray_gset_rand:Nn} \meta{intarray~var} \Arg{maximum}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Evaluates the integer expressions \meta{minimum} and \meta{maximum}
%   then sets each entry (independently) of the \meta{integer array
%   variable} to a pseudo-random number between the two (with bounds
%   included).  If the absolute value of either bound is bigger than
%   $2^{30}-1$, an error occurs.  Entries are generated in the same way
%   as repeated calls to \cs{int_rand:nn} or \cs{int_rand:n}
%   respectively, in particular for the second function the
%   \meta{minimum} is $1$.
%   Assignments are always global.
%   This is not available in older versions of \XeTeX{}.
% \end{function}
%
% \subsection{Working with contents of integer arrays}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2018-05-04, rEXP]{\intarray_const_from_clist:Nn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{intarray_const_from_clist:Nn} \meta{intarray~var} \meta{intexpr clist}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Creates a new constant \meta{integer array variable} or raises an
%   error if the name is already taken.  The \meta{integer array
%   variable} is set (globally) to contain as its items the results of
%   evaluating each \meta{integer expression} in the \meta{comma list}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2018-05-04, rEXP]{\intarray_to_clist:N}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{intarray_to_clist:N} \meta{intarray~var}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Converts the \meta{intarray} to integer denotations separated by
%   commas.  All tokens have category code other.  If the
%   \meta{intarray} has no entry the result is empty; otherwise the
%   result has one fewer comma than the number of items.
% \end{function}
%

% In very rare cases it may be necessary to produce errors in an
% expansion-only context.  The functions in this section should only be
% used if there is no alternative approach using \cs{msg_error:nnnnnn}
% or other non-expandable commands from the previous section.  Despite
% having a similar interface as non-expandable messages, expandable
% errors must be handled internally very differently from normal error
% messages, as none of the tools to print to the terminal or the log
% file are expandable.  As a result, short-hands such as |\{| or |\\| do
% not work, and messages must be very short (with default settings,
% they are truncated after approximately 50 characters).  It is
% advisable to ensure that the message is understandable even when
% truncated, by putting the most important information up front.
% Another particularity of expandable messages is that they
% cannot be redirected or turned off by the user.

%
% \begin{function}[EXP, added = 2014-06-30, updated = 2016-01-12]
%   {
%     \tl_lower_case:n,  \tl_upper_case:n,  \tl_mixed_case:n,
%     \tl_lower_case:nn, \tl_upper_case:nn, \tl_mixed_case:nn
%   }

%     \cs{tl_upper_case:n}  \Arg{tokens}
%     \cs{tl_upper_case:nn} \Arg{language} \Arg{tokens}
%   \end{syntax}
%   These functions are intended to be applied to input which may be
%   regarded broadly as \enquote{text}. They traverse the \meta{tokens} and
%   change the case of characters as discussed below. The character code of
%   the characters replaced may be arbitrary: the replacement characters
%   have standard document-level category codes ($11$ for letters, $12$ for
%   letter-like characters which can also be case-changed).  Begin-group and
%   end-group characters in the \meta{tokens} are normalized and become |{|
%   and |}|, respectively.
%
%   Importantly, notice that these functions are intended for working with
%   user text for typesetting. For case changing programmatic data see the
%   \pkg{l3str} module and discussion there of \cs{str_lower_case:n},
%   \cs{str_upper_case:n} and \cs{str_fold_case:n}.
% \end{function}
%
% The functions perform expansion on the input in most cases. In particular,
% input in the form of token lists or expandable functions is expanded
% \emph{unless} it falls within one of the special handling classes described
% below. This expansion approach means that in general the result of case
% changing matches the \enquote{natural} outcome expected from a
% \enquote{functional} approach to case modification. For example
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \tl_set:Nn \l_tmpa_tl { hello }
%   \tl_upper_case:n { \l_tmpa_tl \c_space_tl world }
% \end{verbatim}
% produces
% \begin{verbatim}
%   HELLO WORLD
% \end{verbatim}
% The expansion approach taken means that in package mode any \LaTeXe{}
% \enquote{robust} commands which may appear in the input should be converted
% to engine-protected versions using for example the \tn{robustify} command
% from the \pkg{etoolbox} package.
%
% \begin{variable}{\l_tl_case_change_math_tl}
%   Case changing does not take place within math mode material so for example
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     \tl_upper_case:n { Some~text~$y = mx + c$~with~{Braces} }
%   \end{verbatim}
%   becomes
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     SOME TEXT $y = mx + c$ WITH {BRACES}
%   \end{verbatim}
%   Material inside math mode is left entirely unchanged: in particular, no
%   expansion is undertaken.
%
%   Detection of math mode is controlled by the list of tokens in
%   \cs{l_tl_case_change_math_tl}, which should be in open--close pairs. In
%   package mode the standard settings is
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     $ $ \( \)
%   \end{verbatim}
%
%   Note that while expansion occurs when searching the text it does not
%   apply to math mode material (which should be unaffected by case changing).
%   As such, whilst the opening token for math mode may be \enquote{hidden}
%   inside a command/macro, the closing one cannot be as this is being
%   searched for in math mode. Typically, in the types of \enquote{text}
%   the case changing functions are intended to apply to this should not be
%   an issue.
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}{\l_tl_case_change_exclude_tl}
%   Case changing can be prevented by using any command on the list
%   \cs{l_tl_case_change_exclude_tl}. Each entry should be a function
%   to be followed by one argument: the latter will be preserved as-is
%   with no expansion. Thus for example following
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     \tl_put_right:Nn \l_tl_case_change_exclude_tl { \NoChangeCase }
%   \end{verbatim}
%   the input
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     \tl_upper_case:n
%       { Some~text~$y = mx + c$~with~\NoChangeCase {Protection} }
%   \end{verbatim}
%   will result in
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     SOME TEXT $y = mx + c$ WITH \NoChangeCase {Protection}
%   \end{verbatim}
%   Notice that the case changing mapping preserves the inclusion of
%   the escape functions: it is left to other code to provide suitable
%   definitions (typically equivalent to \cs{use:n}). In particular, the
%   result of case changing is returned protected by \cs{exp_not:n}.
%
%   When used with \LaTeXe{} the commands |\cite|, |\ensuremath|, |\label|
%   and |\ref| are automatically included in the list for exclusion from
%   case changing.
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}{\l_tl_case_change_accents_tl}
%   This list specifies accent commands which should be left unexpanded
%   in the output. This allows for example
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     \tl_upper_case:n { \" { a } }
%   \end{verbatim}
%   to yield
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     \" { A }
%   \end{verbatim}
%   irrespective of the expandability of |\"|.
%
%   The standard contents of this variable is |\"|, |\'|, |\.|, |\^|, |\`|,
%   |\~|, |\c|, |\H|, |\k|, |\r|, |\t|, |\u| and |\v|.
% \end{variable}
%
% \enquote{Mixed} case conversion may be regarded informally as converting the
% first character of the \meta{tokens} to upper case and the rest to lower
% case. However, the process is more complex than this as there are some
% situations where a single lower case character maps to a special form, for
% example \texttt{ij} in Dutch which becomes \texttt{IJ}. As such,
% \cs[index=tl_mixed_case:n]{tl_mixed_case:n(n)}
% implement a more sophisticated mapping which accounts
% for this and for modifying accents on the first letter. Spaces at the start
% of the \meta{tokens} are ignored when finding the first \enquote{letter} for
% conversion.
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \tl_mixed_case:n { hello~WORLD }   % => "Hello world"
%   \tl_mixed_case:n { ~hello~WORLD }  % => " Hello world"
%   \tl_mixed_case:n { {hello}~WORLD } % => "{Hello} world"
% \end{verbatim}
% When finding the first \enquote{letter} for this process, any content in
% math mode or covered by \cs{l_tl_case_change_exclude_tl} is ignored.
%
% (Note that the Unicode Consortium describe this as \enquote{title case}, but
% that in English title case applies on a word-by-word basis. The
% \enquote{mixed} case implemented here is a lower level concept needed for
% both \enquote{title} and \enquote{sentence} casing of text.)
%
% \begin{variable}{\l_tl_mixed_case_ignore_tl}
%   The list of characters to ignore when searching for the first
%   \enquote{letter} in mixed-casing is determined by
%   \cs{l_tl_mixed_change_ignore_tl}. This has the standard setting
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     ( [ { ` -
%   \end{verbatim}
%   where comparisons are made on a character basis.
% \end{variable}
%
%   As is generally true for \pkg{expl3}, these functions are designed to
%   work with Unicode input only. As such, UTF-8 input is assumed for
%   \emph{all} engines. When used with \XeTeX{} or \LuaTeX{} a full range of
%   Unicode transformations are enabled. Specifically, the standard mappings
%   here follow those defined by the \href{http://www.unicode.org}^^A
%   {Unicode Consortium} in \texttt{UnicodeData.txt} and
%   \texttt{SpecialCasing.txt}. In the case of $8$-bit engines, mappings
%   are provided for characters which can be represented in output typeset
%   using the |T1| font encoding. Thus for example |ä| can be case-changed
%   using \pdfTeX{}.  For \pTeX{} only the ASCII range is covered as the
%   engine treats input outside of this range as east Asian.
%
% Context-sensitive mappings are enabled: language-dependent cases are
% discussed below. Context detection expands input but treats any
% unexpandable control sequences as \enquote{failures} to match a context.
%
%   Language-sensitive conversions are enabled using the \meta{language}
%   argument, and follow Unicode Consortium guidelines. Currently, the
%   languages recognised for special handling are as follows.
%   \begin{itemize}
%     \item Azeri and Turkish (\texttt{az} and \texttt{tr}).
%       The case pairs I/i-dotless and I-dot/i are activated for these
%       languages. The combining dot mark is removed when lower
%       casing I-dot and introduced when upper casing i-dotless.
%     \item German (\texttt{de-alt}).
%       An alternative mapping for German in which the lower case
%       \emph{Eszett} maps to a \emph{gro\ss{}es Eszett}.
%     \item Lithuanian (\texttt{lt}).
%       The lower case letters i and j should retain a dot above when the
%       accents grave, acute or tilde are present. This is implemented for
%       lower casing of the relevant upper case letters both when input as
%       single Unicode codepoints and when using combining accents. The
%       combining dot is removed when upper casing in these cases. Note that
%       \emph{only} the accents used in Lithuanian are covered: the behaviour
%       of other accents are not modified.
%     \item Dutch (\texttt{nl}).
%       Capitalisation of \texttt{ij} at the beginning of mixed cased
%       input produces \texttt{IJ} rather than \texttt{Ij}. The output
%       retains two separate letters, thus this transformation \emph{is}
%       available using \pdfTeX{}.
%   \end{itemize}
%
%   Creating additional context-sensitive mappings requires knowledge
%   of the underlying mapping implementation used here. The team are happy
%   to add these to the kernel where they are well-documented
%   (\emph{e.g.}~in Unicode Consortium or relevant government publications).

%   \end{verbatim}
%   prints \verb*|bcde{}|, \verb*|cde{}f|, \verb*|e{}f|, and an empty

%   with the appropriate category code. Mixed case needs an extra step as it
%   may be special-cased or might be a special upper case outcome. The internal

%   The mechanism for the core conversion of case is based on the idea that

%   Earlier versions of the code where only \texttt{x}-type expandable rather
%   than \texttt{f}-type: this causes issues with nesting and so the slight
%   performance hit is taken for a better outcome in usability terms. Setting
%   up for \texttt{f}-type expandability has two requirements: a marker
%   token after the main loop (see above) and a mechanism to \enquote{load}
%   and finalise the result. That is handled in the code below, which includes
%   the necessary material to end the \cs{exp:w} expansion.

%   Handling for the cases where the current argument is a brace group or
%   a space is relatively easy. For the brace case, the routine works
%   recursively, using the expandability of the mechanism to ensure that the
%   result is finalised before storage. For the space case it is simply a
%   question of removing the space in the input and storing it in the output.
%   In both cases, and indeed for the \texttt{N}-type grabber, after removing
%   the current item from the input \cs{@@_change_case_loop:wnn} is inserted

%   For \texttt{N}-type arguments there are several stages to the approach.
%   First, a simply check for the end-of-input marker, which if found triggers
%   the final clean up and output step. Assuming that is not the case, the
%   first check is for math-mode escaping: this test can encompass control
%   sequences or other \texttt{N}-type tokens so is handled up front.

%   Looking for math mode escape first requires a loop over the possible
%   token pairs to see if the current input (|#1|) matches an open-math case
%   (|#2|). If if does then this test loop is ended and a new input-gathering
%   one is begun. The latter simply transfers material from the input to the
%   output without any expansion, testing each \texttt{N}-type token to see
%   if it matches the close-math case required. If that is the situation then
%   the \enquote{math loop} stops and resumes the main loop: as that might
%   be either the standard case-changing one or the mixed-case alternative,
%   it is not hard-coded into the math loop but is rather passed as argument
%   |#3| to \cs{@@_change_case_math:NNNnnn}. If no close-math token is found
%   then the final clean-up is forced (\emph{i.e.}~there is no assumption
%   of \enquote{well-behaved} input in terms of math mode).

%   are to deal with. Those can then be grabbed to reconstruct the full

%   The lower casing rule can be expressed in terms of searching first for

%   For  Lithuanian, the issue to be dealt with is dots over lower case
%   letters: these should be present if there is another accent. That means
%   that there is some work to do when lower casing I and J. The first step
%   is a simple match attempt: \cs{c_@@_accents_lt_tl} contains
%   accented upper case letters which should gain a dot-above char in their
%   lower case form. This is done using \texttt{f}-type expansion so only one
%   pass is needed to find if it works or not. If there was no hit, the second
%   stage is to check for I, J and I-ogonek, and if the current char is a
%   match to look for a following accent.

%
% Between \cs{tl_build_begin:N} \meta{tl~var} and \cs{tl_build_end:N}
% \meta{tl~var}, the \meta{tl~var} has the structure
% \begin{quote}
%   \cs{exp_end:} \ldots{} \cs{exp_end:} \cs{@@_build_last:NNn}
%   \meta{assignment} \meta{next~tl} \Arg{left} \meta{right}
% \end{quote}
% where \meta{right} is not braced.  The \enquote{data} it represents is
% \meta{left} followed by the \enquote{data} of \meta{next~tl} followed
% by \meta{right}.  The \meta{next~tl} is a token list variable whose
% name is that of \meta{tl~var} followed by~|'|.  There are between $0$
% and $4$ \cs{exp_end:} to keep track of when \meta{left} and
% \meta{right} should be put into the \meta{next~tl}.  The
% \meta{assignment} is \cs{cs_set_nopar:Npx} if the variable is local,
% and \cs{cs_gset_nopar:Npx} if it is global.
%
% \begin{macro}{\tl_build_begin:N, \tl_build_gbegin:N}
% \begin{macro}{\@@_build_begin:NN, \@@_build_begin:NNN}
%   First construct the \meta{next~tl}: using a prime here conflicts
%   with the usual \pkg{expl3} convention but we need a name that can be
%   derived from |#1| without any external data such as a counter.
%   Empty that \meta{next~tl} and setup the structure.  The local and
%   global versions only differ by a single function
%   \cs[no-index]{cs_(g)set_nopar:Npx} used for all assignments: this is
%   important because only that function is stored in the \meta{tl~var}
%   and \meta{next~tl} for subsequent assignments.  In principle
%   \cs{@@_build_begin:NNN} could use \cs[no-index]{tl_(g)clear_new:N}
%   to empty |#1| and make sure it is defined, but logging the
%   definition does not seem useful so we just do |#3| |#1| |{}| to
%   clear it locally or globally as appropriate.

%   |#1''| and so on, similar to \cs{tl_build_end:N}.  This only affects

%   }
%   Similar to \cs{tl_put_right:Nn}, but apply \cs{exp:w} to |#1|.  Most
%   of the time this just removes one \cs{exp_end:}.  When there are
%   none left, \cs{@@_build_last:NNn} is expanded instead.  It resets
%   the definition of the \meta{tl~var} by ending the \cs{exp_not:n} and
%   the definition early.  Then it makes sure the \meta{next~tl} (its
%   argument |#1|) is set-up and starts a new definition.  Then
%   \cs{@@_build_put:nn} and \cs{@@_build_put:nw} place the \meta{left}
%   part of the original \meta{tl~var} as appropriate for the definition
%   of the \meta{next~tl} (the \meta{right} part is left in the right
%   place without ever becoming a macro argument).  We use
%   \cs{exp_after:wN} rather than some \cs{exp_args:No} to avoid reading
%   arguments that are likely very long token lists.  We use
%   \cs[no-index]{cs_(g)set_nopar:Npx} rather than
%   \cs[no-index]{tl_(g)set:Nx} partly for the same reason and partly
%   because the assignments are interrupted by brace tricks, which
%   implies that the assignment does not simply set the token list to an
%   |x|-expansion of the second argument.

%   appropriate in \cs{exp_not:n}.  The various \meta{left} parts are
%   left in the assignment as we go, which enables us to expand the
%   \meta{next~tl} at the right place.  The various \meta{right} parts
%   are eventually picked up in one last \cs{exp_not:n}, with a brace
%   trick to wrap all the \meta{right} parts together.

% \subsection{Additions to \pkg{l3token}}
%
% \begin{variable}{\c_catcode_active_space_tl}
%   While \cs{char_generate:nn} can produce active characters in some
%   engines it cannot in general.  It would be possible to simply change
%   the catcode of space but then the code would need to avoid all
%   spaces, making it quite unreadable.  Instead we use the primitive
%   \cs{tex_lowercase:D} trick.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\group_begin:
  \char_set_catcode_active:N *
  \char_set_lccode:nn { `* } { `\ }
  \tex_lowercase:D { \tl_const:Nn \c_catcode_active_space_tl { * } }
\group_end:
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{variable}
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<@@=peek>
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \begin{macro}[TF]{\peek_N_type:}
% \begin{macro}
%   {\@@_execute_branches_N_type:, \@@_N_type:w, \@@_N_type_aux:nnw}
%   All tokens are \texttt{N}-type tokens, except in four cases:
%   begin-group tokens, end-group tokens, space tokens with character
%   code~$32$, and outer tokens.  Since \cs{l_peek_token} might be
%   outer, we cannot use the convenient \cs{bool_if:nTF} function, and
%   must resort to the old trick of using \tn{ifodd} to expand a set of
%   tests.  The \texttt{false} branch of this test is taken if the token
%   is one of the first three kinds of non-\texttt{N}-type tokens
%   (explicit or implicit), thus we call \cs{@@_false:w}.  In the
%   \texttt{true} branch, we must detect outer tokens, without impacting
%   performance too much for non-outer tokens.  The first filter is to
%   search for \texttt{outer} in the \tn{meaning} of \cs{l_peek_token}.
%   If that is absent, \cs{use_none_delimit_by_q_stop:w} cleans up, and
%   we call \cs{@@_true:w}.  Otherwise, the token can be a non-outer
%   macro or a primitive mark whose parameter or replacement text
%   contains \texttt{outer}, it can be the primitive \tn{outer}, or it
%   can be an outer token.  Macros and marks would have \texttt{ma} in
%   the part before the first occurrence of \texttt{outer}; the meaning
%   of \tn{outer} has nothing after \texttt{outer}, contrarily to outer
%   macros; and that covers all cases, calling \cs{@@_true:w} or
%   \cs{@@_false:w} as appropriate.  Here, there is no \meta{search
%     token}, so we feed a dummy \cs{scan_stop:} to the
%   \cs{@@_token_generic:NNTF} function.

%     (stored in \cs{l_@@_search_token} and \cs{l_@@_search_tl}).
%     Here, in the \texttt{true} case we run \cs{@@_collect_true:w},
%     which generally calls \cs{@@_collect:N} to store the peeked token
%     into \cs{l_@@_collect_tl}, except in special non-\texttt{N}-type
%     cases (begin-group, end-group, or space), where a frozen token is
%     stored.  The \texttt{true} branch calls
%     \cs{@@_execute_branches_\ldots{}:} to fetch more matching tokens.
%     Once there are no more, \cs{@@_false_aux:n} closes the safe-align
