%
% \section{Internal kernel functions}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_chk_cs_exist:N, \__kernel_chk_cs_exist:c}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_chk_cs_exist:N} \meta{cs}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This function is only created if debugging is enabled.  It checks
%   that \meta{cs} exists according to the criteria for
%   \cs{cs_if_exist_p:N}, and if not raises a kernel-level error.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_chk_defined:NT}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_chk_defined:NT} \meta{variable} \Arg{true code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   If \meta{variable} is not defined (according to
%   \cs{cs_if_exist:NTF}), this triggers an error, otherwise the
%   \meta{true code} is run.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_chk_expr:nNnN}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_chk_expr:nNnN} \Arg{expr} \meta{eval} \Arg{convert} \meta{caller}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This function is only created if debugging is enabled.  By default
%   it is equivalent to \cs{use_i:nnnn}.  When expression checking is
%   enabled, it leaves in the input stream the result of \cs{tex_the:D}
%   \meta{eval} \meta{expr} \cs{tex_relax:D} after checking that no
%   token was left over.  If any token was not taken as part of the
%   expression, there is an error message displaying the result of the
%   evaluation as well as the \meta{caller}.  For instance \meta{eval}
%   can be \cs{__int_eval:w} and \meta{caller} can be \cs{int_eval:n} or
%   \cs{int_set:Nn}.  The argument \meta{convert} is empty except for mu
%   expressions where it is \cs{tex_mutoglue:D}, used for internal
%   purposes.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_chk_var_exist:N}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_chk_var_exist:N} \meta{var}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This function is only created if debugging is enabled.  It checks
%   that \meta{var} is defined according to the criteria for
%   \cs{cs_if_exist_p:N}, and if not raises a kernel-level error.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_chk_var_scope:NN}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_chk_var_scope:NN} \meta{scope} \meta{var}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Checks the \meta{var} has the correct \meta{scope}, and if not
%   raises a kernel-level error.  This function is only created if
%   debugging is enabled.  The \meta{scope} is a single letter |l|, |g|,
%   |c| denoting local variables, global variables, or constants.  More
%   precisely, if the variable name starts with a letter and an
%   underscore (normal \pkg{expl3} convention) the function checks that
%   this single letter matches the \meta{scope}.  Otherwise the function
%   cannot know the scope \meta{var} the first time: instead, it defines
%   |\__debug_chk_/|\meta{var name} to store that information for the
%   next call.  Thus, if a given \meta{var} is subject to assignments of
%   different scopes a kernel error will result.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_chk_var_local:N, \__kernel_chk_var_global:N}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_chk_var_local:N} \meta{var}
%     \cs{__kernel_chk_var_global:N} \meta{var}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Applies \cs{__kernel_chk_var_exist:N} \meta{var}, and assuming that is
%   true applies
%   \cs{__kernel_chk_var_scope:NN} \meta{scope} \meta{var}, where
%   \meta{scope} is |l| or~|g|.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_cs_parm_from_arg_count:nnF}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_cs_parm_from_arg_count:nnF} \Arg{follow-on} \Arg{args} \Arg{false code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Evaluates the number of \meta{args} and leaves the \meta{follow-on} code
%   followed by a brace group containing the required number of primitive
%   parameter markers (|#1|, \emph{etc}.). If the number of \meta{args} is outside
%   the range $[0,9]$, the \meta{false code} is inserted \emph{instead} of
%   the \meta{follow-on}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_deprecation_code:nn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_deprecation_code:nn} \Arg{error code} \Arg{working code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Stores both an \meta{error} and \meta{working} definition for given material
%   such that they can be exchanged by \cs{debug_on:} and \cs{debug_off:}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_if_debug:TF}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_if_debug:TF} \Arg{true code} \Arg{false code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Runs the \meta{true code} if debugging is enabled, namely only in
%   \LaTeXe{} package mode with one of the options
%   \texttt{check-declarations}, \texttt{enable-debug}, or
%   \texttt{log-functions}.  Otherwise runs the \meta{false code}.  The
%   |T| and |F| variants are not provided for this low-level
%   conditional.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_debug_log:x}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_debug_log:x} \Arg{message text}
%   \end{syntax}
%   If the \texttt{log-functions} option is active, this function writes
%   the \meta{message text} to the log file using \cs{iow_log:x}.
%   Otherwise, the \meta{message text} is ignored using \cs{use_none:n}.
%   This function is only created if debugging is enabled.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\__kernel_exp_not:w}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_exp_not:w} \meta{expandable tokens} \Arg{content}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Carries out expansion on the \meta{expandable tokens} before preventing
%   further expansion of the \meta{content} as for \cs{exp_not:n}. Typically,
%   the \meta{expandable tokens} will alter the nature of the \meta{content},
%   \emph{i.e.}~allow it to be generated in some way.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{variable}{\l__kernel_expl_bool}
%   A boolean which records the current code syntax status: \texttt{true} if
%   currently inside a code environment. This variable should only be
%   set by \cs{ExplSyntaxOn}/\cs{ExplSyntaxOff}.
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_file_missing:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_file_missing:n} \Arg{name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Expands the \meta{name} as per \cs{__kernel_file_name_sanitize:nN} then
%   produces an error message indicating that that file was not found.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_file_name_sanitize:nN}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_file_name_sanitize:nN} \Arg{name} \meta{str var}
%   \end{syntax}
%   For converting a \meta{name} to a string where active characters are treated
%   as strings.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_file_input_push:n, \__kernel_file_input_pop:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_file_input_push:n} \Arg{name}
%     \cs{__kernel_file_input_pop:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Used to push and pop data from the internal file stack: needed only
%   in package mode, where interfacing with the \LaTeXe{} kernel is necessary.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\__kernel_int_add:nnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_int_add:nnn} \Arg{integer_1} \Arg{integer_2} \Arg{integer_3}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Expands to the result of adding the three \meta{integers} (which
%   must be suitable input for \cs{int_eval:w}), avoiding intermediate
%   overflow.  Overflow occurs only if the overall result is outside
%   $[-2^{31}+1,2^{31}-1]$.  The \meta{integers} may be of the form
%   \cs{int_eval:w} \dots{} \cs{scan_stop:} but may be evaluated more
%   than once.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_ior_open:Nn, \__kernel_ior_open:No}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_ior_open:Nn} \meta{stream} \Arg{file name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This function has identical syntax to the public version. However,
%   is does not take precautions against active characters in the
%   \meta{file name}, and it does not attempt to add a \meta{path} to
%   the \meta{file name}: it is therefore intended to be used by
%   higher-level
%   functions which have already fully expanded the \meta{file name} and which
%   need to perform multiple open or close operations. See for example the
%   implementation of \cs{file_get_full_name:nN},
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\__kernel_iow_with:Nnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_iow_with:Nnn} \meta{integer} \Arg{value} \Arg{code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   If the \meta{integer} is equal to the \meta{value} then this
%   function simply runs the \meta{code}.  Otherwise it saves the
%   current value of the \meta{integer}, sets it to the \meta{value},
%   runs the \meta{code}, and restores the \meta{integer} to its former
%   value.  This is used to ensure that the \tn{newlinechar} is~$10$
%   when writing to a stream, which lets \cs{iow_newline:} work, and
%   that \tn{errorcontextlines} is $-1$ when displaying a message.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}
%   {\__kernel_msg_new:nnnn, \__kernel_msg_new:nnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_msg_new:nnnn} \Arg{module} \Arg{message} \Arg{text} \Arg{more text}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Creates a kernel \meta{message} for a given \meta{module}.
%   The message is defined to first give \meta{text} and then
%   \meta{more text} if the user requests it. If no \meta{more text} is
%   available then a standard text is given instead. Within \meta{text}
%   and \meta{more text} four parameters (|#1| to |#4|) can be used:
%   these will be supplied and expanded at the time the message is used.
%   An error is raised if the \meta{message} already exists.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}
%   {\__kernel_msg_set:nnnn, \__kernel_msg_set:nnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_msg_set:nnnn} \Arg{module} \Arg{message} \Arg{text} \Arg{more text}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Sets up the text for a kernel \meta{message} for a given \meta{module}.
%   The message is defined to first give \meta{text} and then
%   \meta{more text} if the user requests it. If no \meta{more text} is
%   available then a standard text is given instead. Within \meta{text}
%   and \meta{more text} four parameters (|#1| to |#4|) can be used:
%   these will be supplied and expanded at the time the message is used.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}
%   {
%     \__kernel_msg_fatal:nnnnnn ,
%     \__kernel_msg_fatal:nnnnn  ,
%     \__kernel_msg_fatal:nnnn   ,
%     \__kernel_msg_fatal:nnn    ,
%     \__kernel_msg_fatal:nn     ,
%     \__kernel_msg_fatal:nnxxxx ,
%     \__kernel_msg_fatal:nnxxx  ,
%     \__kernel_msg_fatal:nnxx   ,
%     \__kernel_msg_fatal:nnx
%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_msg_fatal:nnnnnn} \Arg{module} \Arg{message} \Arg{arg one} \Arg{arg two} \Arg{arg three} \Arg{arg four}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Issues kernel \meta{module} error \meta{message}, passing \meta{arg one}
%   to \meta{arg four} to the text-creating functions. After issuing a
%   fatal error the \TeX{} run halts. Cannot be redirected.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}
%   {
%     \__kernel_msg_error:nnnnnn ,
%     \__kernel_msg_error:nnnnn  ,
%     \__kernel_msg_error:nnnn   ,
%     \__kernel_msg_error:nnn    ,
%     \__kernel_msg_error:nn     ,
%     \__kernel_msg_error:nnxxxx ,
%     \__kernel_msg_error:nnxxx  ,
%     \__kernel_msg_error:nnxx   ,
%     \__kernel_msg_error:nnx
%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{__kernel_msg_error:nnnnnn} \Arg{module} \Arg{message} \Arg{arg one} \Arg{arg two} \Arg{arg three} \Arg{arg four}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Issues kernel \meta{module} error \meta{message}, passing \meta{arg one}
%   to
%   \meta{arg four} to the text-creating functions. The error

%   If debugging is not enabled, this function ignores the \meta{before}

%     \meta{definition} \meta{function} \meta{parameters} \Arg{code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Like \cs{__kernel_patch:nnNNpn}, this tweaks the following
%   definition, but from the \enquote{inside out} (and if debugging is
%   not enabled, the \meta{arguments} are ignored).  It replaces |#1|,
%   |#2| and so on in the \meta{code} of the definition as indicated by
%   the \meta{arguments}.  More precisely, a temporary function is
%   defined using the \meta{definition} with the \meta{parameters} and
%   \meta{code}, then the result of expanding that function once in
%   front of the \meta{arguments} is used instead of the \meta{code}
%   when defining the actual function.  For instance,
%   \begin{quote}
%     \cs{__kernel_patch_args:nNNpn} |{ { (#1) } }| \\
%     \cs{cs_new:Npn} \cs{int_eval:n} |#1| \\
%     ~~|{ \int_value:w \__int_eval:w #1 \__int_eval_end: }|
%   \end{quote}
%   would replace |#1| by |(#1)| in the definition of \cs{int_eval:n} when
%   debugging is enabled.  This fails if the \meta{code} contains~|##|.
%   The \cs{__kernel_patch_conditional_args:nNNpnn} function is for use

%   Converts the \meta{token list} to a \meta{other string}, where
