%
% Comma lists contain ordered data where items can be added to the left
% or right end of the list.  This data type allows basic list
% manipulations such as adding/removing items, applying a function to
% every item, removing duplicate items, extracting a given item, using
% the comma list with specified separators, and so on.  Sequences
% (defined in \pkg{l3seq}) are safer, faster, and provide more features,
% so they should often be preferred to comma lists.  Comma lists are
% mostly useful when interfacing with \LaTeXe{} or other code that
% expects or provides comma list data.
%
% Several items can be added at once.  To ease input of comma lists from
% data provided by a user outside an \cs{ExplSyntaxOn} \ldots{}
% \cs{ExplSyntaxOff} block, spaces are removed from both sides of each
% comma-delimited argument upon input.  Blank arguments are ignored, to
% allow for trailing commas or repeated commas (which may otherwise
% arise when concatenating comma lists \enquote{by hand}).  In addition,
% a set of braces is removed if the result of space-trimming is braced:
% this allows the storage of any item in a comma list.  For instance,
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \clist_new:N \l_my_clist
%   \clist_put_left:Nn \l_my_clist { ~a~ , ~{b}~ , c~\d }
%   \clist_put_right:Nn \l_my_clist { ~{e~} , , {{f}} , }
% \end{verbatim}
% results in |\l_my_clist| containing |a,b,c~\d,{e~},{{f}}| namely the
% five items |a|, |b|, |c~\d|, |e~| and~|{f}|.  Comma lists normally do
% not contain empty items so the following gives an empty comma list:
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \clist_clear_new:N \l_my_clist
%   \clist_put_right:Nn \l_my_clist { , ~ , , }
%   \clist_if_empty:NTF \l_my_clist { true } { false }
% \end{verbatim}
% and it leaves \texttt{true} in the input stream.  To include an
% \enquote{unsafe} item (empty, or one that contains a comma, or starts
% or ends with a space, or is a single brace group), surround it with
% braces.
%
% Almost all operations on comma lists are
% noticeably slower than those on sequences so converting the data to
% sequences using \cs{seq_set_from_clist:Nn} (see \pkg{l3seq}) may be
% advisable if speed is important.  The exception is that
% \cs{clist_if_in:NnTF} and \cs{clist_remove_duplicates:N} may be faster
% than their sequence analogues for large lists.  However, these
% functions work slowly for \enquote{unsafe} items that must be braced,
% and may produce errors when their argument contains |{|, |}| or |#|
% (assuming the usual \TeX{} category codes apply).  In addition, comma
% lists cannot store quarks \cs{q_mark} or \cs{q_stop}.  The sequence
% data type should thus certainly be preferred to comma lists to store
% such items.

%
% \section{Mapping to comma lists}
%
% The functions described in this section apply a specified function
% to each item of a comma list.
% All mappings are done at the current group level, \emph{i.e.}~any
% local assignments made by the \meta{function} or \meta{code} discussed
% below remain in effect after the loop.
%
% When the comma list is given explicitly, as an \texttt{n}-type argument,
% spaces are trimmed around each item.
% If the result of trimming spaces is empty, the item is ignored.
% Otherwise, if the item is surrounded by braces, one set is removed,
% and the result is passed to the mapped function. Thus, if the
% comma list that is being mapped is \verb*|{a , {{b} }, ,{}, {c},}|
% then the arguments passed to the mapped function are
% `\verb*|a|', `\verb*|{b} |', an empty argument, and `\verb*|c|'.
%
% When the comma list is given as an \texttt{N}-type argument, spaces
% have already been trimmed on input, and items are simply stripped
% of one set of braces if any. This case is more efficient than using
% \texttt{n}-type comma lists.
%
% \begin{function}[rEXP, updated = 2012-06-29]

%   Stores each \meta{item} of the \meta{comma list} in turn in the
%   (token list) \meta{variable} and 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.
%   Its value after the loop is the last \meta{item} in the \meta{comma

%   \end{syntax}
%   Places the contents of the \meta{clist~var} in the input stream,
%   with the appropriate \meta{separator} between the items.  Namely, if
%   the comma list has more than two items, the \meta{separator between
%     more than two} is placed between each pair of items except the
%   last, for which the \meta{separator between final two} is used.  If
%   the comma list has exactly two items, then they are placed in the input
%   stream separated by the \meta{separator between two}.  If the comma
%   list has a single item, it is placed in the input stream, and a comma
%   list with no items produces no output.  An error is raised if
%   the variable does not exist or if it is invalid.
%
%   For example,
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     \clist_set:Nn \l_tmpa_clist { a , b , , c , {de} , f }
%     \clist_use:Nnnn \l_tmpa_clist { ~and~ } { ,~ } { ,~and~ }

%   because the comma list has more than $2$ items.
%   \begin{texnote}
%     The result is returned within the \tn{unexpanded}
%     primitive (\cs{exp_not:n}), which means that the \meta{items}

%   True if the argument must be wrapped to avoid getting altered by some

%   \begin{itemize}
%   \item starts or end with a space or contains a comma,
%   \item is empty, or
%   \item consists of a single braced group.
%   \end{itemize}
%   All \pkg{l3clist} functions go through the same test when they need
%   to determine whether to brace an item, so it is not a problem that
%   this test has false positives such as \enquote{\cs{q_mark}
%   \texttt{?}}.  If the argument starts or end with a space or contains
%   a comma then one of the three arguments of \cs{@@_if_wrap:w} will
%   have its end delimiter (partly) in one of the three copies of |#1|
%   in \cs{@@_if_wrap:nTF}; this has a knock-on effect meaning that the
%   result of the expansion is not empty; in that case, wrap.

% \begin{macro}{\@@_remove_all:}
%   The method used here for safe items is very similar to
%   \cs{tl_replace_all:Nnn}.  However, if the item contains commas or
%   leading/trailing spaces, or is empty, or consists of a single brace
%   group, we know that it can only appear within braces so the code
%   would fail; instead just convert to a sequence and do the removal
%   with \pkg{l3seq} code (it involves somewhat elaborate code to do
%   most of the work expandably but the final token list comparisons
%   non-expandably).
%
%   For \enquote{safe} items, build a function delimited by the
%   \meta{item} that should be removed,
%   surrounded with commas, and call that function followed by
%   the expanded comma list, and another copy of the \meta{item}.
%   The loop is controlled by the argument grabbed by
%   \cs{@@_remove_all:w}: when the item was found,
%   the \cs{q_mark} delimiter used is the one inserted by
%   \cs{@@_tmp:w}, and \cs{use_none_delimit_by_q_stop:w}
%   is deleted. At the end, the final \meta{item} is
%   grabbed, and the argument of \cs{@@_tmp:w} contains
%   \cs{q_mark}: in that case, \cs{@@_remove_all:w}
%   removes the second \cs{q_mark} (inserted by \cs{@@_tmp:w}),
%   and lets \cs{use_none_delimit_by_q_stop:w} act.
%
%   No brace is lost because items are always grabbed with a leading comma.
%   The result of the first assignment has an extra leading comma,
%   which we remove in a second assignment.
%   Two exceptions: if the clist lost all of its elements, the result
%   is empty, and we shouldn't remove anything; if the clist started up
%   empty, the first step happens to turn it into a single comma, and
%   the second step removes it.

%   First check that the variable exists.  Then count the items in the
%   comma list.  If it has none, output nothing.  If it has one item,
%   output that item, brace stripped (note that space-trimming has
%   already been done when the comma list was assigned).  If it has two,
%   place the \meta{separator~between~two} in the middle.
%
%   Otherwise, \cs{@@_use:nwwwwnwn} takes the following arguments; 1:
%   a \meta{separator}, 2, 3, 4: three items from the comma list (or
%   quarks), 5: the rest of the comma list, 6: a \meta{continuation}
%   function (\texttt{use_ii} or \texttt{use_iii} with its
%   \meta{separator} argument), 7: junk, and 8: the temporary result,
%   which is built in a brace group following \cs{q_stop}.  The
%   \meta{separator} and the first of the three items are placed in the
%   result, then we use the \meta{continuation}, placing the remaining
%   two items after it.  When we begin this loop, the three items really
%   belong to the comma list, the first \cs{q_mark} is taken as a
%   delimiter to the \texttt{use_ii} function, and the continuation is
%   \texttt{use_ii} itself.  When we reach the last two items of the
%   original token list, \cs{q_mark} is taken as a third item, and now
%   the second \cs{q_mark} serves as a delimiter to \texttt{use_ii},
%   switching to the other \meta{continuation}, \texttt{use_iii}, which
%   uses the \meta{separator between final two}.
