% \begin{documentation}
%
% \LaTeX3 implements a \enquote{property list} data type, which contain
% an unordered list of entries each of which consists of a \meta{key} and
% an associated \meta{value}. The \meta{key} and \meta{value} may both
% be any \meta{balanced text}, but the \meta{key} is processed using
% \cs{tl_to_str:n}, meaning that category codes are ignored. It is
% possible to map functions to property lists such that the function is
% applied to every key--value pair within the list.
%
% Each entry in a property list must have a unique \meta{key}: if an entry is
% added to a property list which already contains the \meta{key} then the new
% entry overwrites the existing one. The \meta{keys} are compared on a
% string basis, using the same method as \cs{str_if_eq:nn}.
%
% Property lists are intended for storing key-based information for use within
% code.  This is in contrast to key--value lists, which are a form of
% \emph{input} parsed by the \pkg{l3keys} module.
%
% \section{Creating and initialising property lists}
%
% \begin{function}{\prop_new:N, \prop_new:c}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{prop_new:N} \meta{property list}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Creates a new \meta{property list} or raises an error if the name is
%   already taken. The declaration is global. The \meta{property list}
%   initially contains no entries.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}
%   {\prop_clear:N, \prop_clear:c, \prop_gclear:N, \prop_gclear:c}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{prop_clear:N} \meta{property list}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Clears all entries from the \meta{property list}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}
%   {
%     \prop_clear_new:N,  \prop_clear_new:c,
%     \prop_gclear_new:N, \prop_gclear_new:c
%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{prop_clear_new:N} \meta{property list}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Ensures that the \meta{property list} exists globally by applying
%   \cs{prop_new:N} if necessary, then applies
%   \cs[index=prop_clear:N]{prop_(g)clear:N} to leave
%   the list empty.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}
%   {
%     \prop_set_eq:NN,  \prop_set_eq:cN,  \prop_set_eq:Nc,  \prop_set_eq:cc,

%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{prop_set_eq:NN} \meta{property list_1} \meta{property list_2}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Sets the content of \meta{property list_1} equal to that of
%   \meta{property list_2}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2017-11-28, updated = 2019-08-25]
%   {

%         \meta{key2} |=| \meta{value2} |,| \ldots{}
%       \}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Sets \meta{prop~var} to contain key--value pairs given in the second
%   argument.  If duplicate keys appear only the last of the values is kept.
%
%   Spaces are trimmed around every \meta{key} and every \meta{value},
%   and if the result of trimming spaces consists of a single brace
%   group then a set of outer braces is removed.  This enables both the
%   \meta{key} and the \meta{value} to contain spaces, commas or equal
%   signs.  The \meta{key} is then processed by \cs{tl_to_str:n}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2017-11-28, updated = 2019-08-25]
%   {\prop_const_from_keyval:Nn, \prop_const_from_keyval:cn}

%         \meta{key2} |=| \meta{value2} |,| \ldots{}
%       \}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Creates a new constant \meta{prop~var} or raises an error if the
%   name is already taken. The \meta{prop~var} is set globally to
%   contain key--value pairs given in the second argument, processed in
%   the way described for \cs{prop_set_from_keyval:Nn}.  If duplicate
%   keys appear only the last of the values is kept.

%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{prop_put:Nnn} \meta{property list} \Arg{key} \Arg{value}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Adds an entry to the \meta{property list} which may be accessed
%   using the \meta{key} and which has \meta{value}. If the \meta{key}
%   is already present in the \meta{property list}, the existing entry
%   is overwritten by the new \meta{value}. Both the \meta{key} and
%   \meta{value} may contain any \meta{balanced text}. The \meta{key} is
%   stored after processing with \cs{tl_to_str:n}, meaning that category
%   codes are ignored.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}
%   {
%     \prop_put_if_new:Nnn,  \prop_put_if_new:cnn,

%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{prop_put_if_new:Nnn} \meta{property list} \Arg{key} \Arg{value}
%   \end{syntax}
%   If the \meta{key} is present in the \meta{property list} then no
%   action is taken. Otherwise, a new entry is added as described for
%   \cs{prop_put:Nnn}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2021-05-16]
%   {
%     \prop_concat:NNN,  \prop_concat:ccc,

%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{prop_concat:NNN} \meta{prop~var_1} \meta{prop~var_2} \meta{prop~var_3}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Combines the key--value pairs of \meta{prop~var_2} and
%   \meta{prop~var_3}, and saves the result in \meta{prop~var_1}.  If a
%   key appears in both \meta{prop~var_2} and \meta{prop~var_3} then the
%   last value, namely the value in \meta{prop~var_3} is kept.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2021-05-16]
%   {
%     \prop_put_from_keyval:Nn, \prop_put_from_keyval:cn,
%     \prop_gput_from_keyval:Nn, \prop_gput_from_keyval:cn,
%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{prop_put_from_keyval:Nn} \meta{prop~var}
%       \{
%         \meta{key1} |=| \meta{value1} |,|
%         \meta{key2} |=| \meta{value2} |,| \ldots{}
%       \}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Updates the \meta{prop~var} by adding entries for each key--value
%   pair given in the second argument.  The addition is done through
%   \cs{prop_put:Nnn}, hence if the \meta{prop~var} already contains
%   some of the keys, the corresponding values are discarded and
%   replaced by those given in the key--value list.  If duplicate keys
%   appear in the key--value list then only the last of the values is kept.
%
%   The function is equivalent to storing the key--value pairs in a
%   temporary property variable using \cs{prop_set_from_keyval:Nn}, then
%   combining \meta{prop~var} with the temporary variable using
%   \cs{prop_concat:NNN}.  In particular, the \meta{keys} and
%   \meta{values} are space-trimmed and unbraced as described in
%   \cs{prop_set_from_keyval:Nn}.

%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{prop_get:NnN} \meta{property list} \Arg{key} \meta{tl var}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Recovers the \meta{value} stored with \meta{key} from the
%   \meta{property list}, and places this in the \meta{token list
%   variable}. If the \meta{key} is not found in the
%   \meta{property list} then the \meta{token list variable} is set
%   to the special marker \cs{q_no_value}. The \meta{token list

%   variable}. If the \meta{key} is not found in the
%   \meta{property list} then the \meta{token list variable} is set

%   variable}. If the \meta{key} is not found in the
%   \meta{property list} then the \meta{token list variable} is set
%   to the special marker \cs{q_no_value}. The \meta{key} and
%   \meta{value} are then deleted from the property list.
%   The \meta{property list} is modified globally, while the assignment of
%   the \meta{token list variable} is local.  See also \cs{prop_gpop:NnNTF}.

%   an empty expansion.
%   \begin{texnote}
%     This function is slower than the non-expandable analogue
%     \cs{prop_get:NnN}.
%     The result is returned within the \tn{unexpanded}
%     primitive (\cs{exp_not:n}), which means that the \meta{value}

% \begin{function}[EXP]{\prop_count:N, \prop_count:c}

%   \begin{texnote}
%     This function iterates through every key--value pair in the

% \section{Recovering values from property lists with branching}
%
% The functions in this section combine tests for the presence of a key

% or absence of a key in a property list. They offer increased readability
% and performance over separate testing and recovery phases.

%   The \meta{property list} is modified globally, while the

% \end{function}
%
% \section{Mapping over property lists}
%
% 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.
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2013-01-08, rEXP]
%   {\prop_map_function:NN, \prop_map_function:cN}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{prop_map_function:NN} \meta{property list} \meta{function}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Applies \meta{function} to every \meta{entry} stored in the
%   \meta{property list}. The \meta{function} receives two arguments for
%   each iteration: the \meta{key} and associated \meta{value}.
%   The order in which \meta{entries} are returned is not defined and
%   should not be relied upon.
%   To pass further arguments to the \meta{function}, see
%   \cs{prop_map_tokens:Nn}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2013-01-08]
%   {\prop_map_inline:Nn, \prop_map_inline:cn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{prop_map_inline:Nn} \meta{property list} \Arg{inline function}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Applies \meta{inline function} to every \meta{entry} stored
%   within the \meta{property list}. The \meta{inline function} should
%   consist of code which receives the \meta{key} as |#1| and the
%   \meta{value} as |#2|.
%   The order in which \meta{entries} are returned is not defined and
%   should not be relied upon.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[rEXP]
%   {\prop_map_tokens:Nn, \prop_map_tokens:cn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{prop_map_tokens:Nn} \meta{property list} \Arg{code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Analogue of \cs{prop_map_function:NN} which maps several tokens
%   instead of a single function.  The \meta{code} receives each
%   key--value pair in the \meta{property list} as two trailing brace
%   groups. For instance,
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     \prop_map_tokens:Nn \l_my_prop { \str_if_eq:nnT { mykey } }
%   \end{verbatim}
%   expands to the value corresponding to \texttt{mykey}: for each
%   pair in |\l_my_prop| the function \cs{str_if_eq:nnT} receives
%   \texttt{mykey}, the \meta{key} and the \meta{value} as its three
%   arguments.  For that specific task, \cs{prop_item:Nn} is faster.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2012-06-29, rEXP]{\prop_map_break:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{prop_map_break:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Used to terminate a \cs[no-index]{prop_map_\ldots} function before all
%   entries in the \meta{property list} have been processed. This
%   normally takes place within a conditional statement, for example
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     \prop_map_inline:Nn \l_my_prop
%       {
%         \str_if_eq:nnTF { #1 } { bingo }
%           { \prop_map_break: }
%           {
%             % Do something useful
%           }
%       }
%   \end{verbatim}
%   Use outside of a \cs[no-index]{prop_map_\ldots} scenario leads to low
%   level \TeX{} errors.
%   \begin{texnote}
%     When the mapping is broken, additional tokens may be inserted
%     before further items are taken
%     from the input stream. This depends on the design of the mapping
%     function.
%   \end{texnote}
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2012-06-29, rEXP]{\prop_map_break:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{prop_map_break:n} \Arg{code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Used to terminate a \cs[no-index]{prop_map_\ldots} function before all
%   entries in the \meta{property list} have been processed, inserting
%   the \meta{code} after the mapping has ended. This
%   normally takes place within a conditional statement, for example
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     \prop_map_inline:Nn \l_my_prop
%       {
%         \str_if_eq:nnTF { #1 } { bingo }
%           { \prop_map_break:n { <code> } }
%           {
%             % Do something useful
%           }
%       }
%   \end{verbatim}
%   Use outside of a \cs[no-index]{prop_map_\ldots} scenario leads to low

%
% \begin{variable}[added = 2012-06-23]{\l_tmpa_prop, \l_tmpb_prop}

%
% A property list is a macro whose top-level expansion is of the form
% \begin{quote}
%   \cs{s_@@}
%   \cs{@@_pair:wn} \meta{key_1} \cs{s_@@} \Arg{value_1} \\
%   \ldots{} \\
%   \cs{@@_pair:wn} \meta{key_n} \cs{s_@@} \Arg{value_n} \\
% \end{quote}
% where \cs{s_@@} is a scan mark
% (equal to \cs{scan_stop:}), and \cs{@@_pair:wn} can be used to map
% through the property list.
%
% \begin{variable}{\s_@@}
%   The internal token used at the beginning of property lists.  This is
%   also used after each \meta{key} (see \cs{@@_pair:wn}).
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}{\@@_pair:wn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{@@_pair:wn} \meta{key} \cs{s_@@} \Arg{item}
%   \end{syntax}
%   The internal token used to begin each key--value pair in the
%   property list.  If expanded outside of a mapping or manipulation
%   function, an error is raised.  The definition should always be
%   set globally.
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}{\l_@@_internal_tl}
%   Token list used to store new key--value pairs to be inserted by
%   functions of the \cs{prop_put:Nnn} family.
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2013-01-08]{\@@_split:NnTF}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{@@_split:NnTF} \meta{property list} \Arg{key} \Arg{true code} \Arg{false code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Splits the \meta{property list} at the \meta{key}, giving three
%   token lists: the \meta{extract} of \meta{property list} before the
%   \meta{key}, the \meta{value} associated with the \meta{key} and the
%   \meta{extract} of the \meta{property list} after the \meta{value}.
%   Both \meta{extracts} retain the internal structure of a property
%   list, and the concatenation of the two \meta{extracts} is a
%   property list.
%   If the \meta{key} is present in the \meta{property list} then the
%   \meta{true code} is left in the input stream, with |#1|, |#2|, and
%   |#3| replaced by the first \meta{extract}, the \meta{value}, and the
%   second extract.
%   If the \meta{key} is not present in the \meta{property list} then
%   the \meta{false code} is left in the input stream, with no trailing
%   material.
%   Both \meta{true code} and \meta{false code} are used in the
%   replacement text of a macro defined internally, hence macro
%   parameter characters should be doubled, except |#1|, |#2|, and |#3|
%   which stand in the \meta{true code} for the three extracts from the
%   property list.
%   The \meta{key} comparison takes place as described for \cs{str_if_eq:nn}.

%   This function is used by most of the module, and hence must be fast.
%   It receives a \meta{property list}, a \meta{key}, a \meta{true code}
%   and a \meta{false code}.  The aim is to split the \meta{property
%     list} at the given \meta{key} into the \meta{extract_1} before the
%   key--value pair, the \meta{value} associated with the \meta{key} and
%   the \meta{extract_2} after the key--value pair.  This is done using
%   a delimited function, whose definition is as follows, where the
%   \meta{key} is turned into a string.
%   \begin{quote}
%     \cs{cs_set:Npn} \cs{@@_split_aux:w} |#1| \\
%     \quad \cs{@@_pair:wn} \meta{key} \cs{s_@@} |#2| \\
%     \quad |#3| \cs{s_@@_mark} |#4| |#5| \cs{s_@@_stop} \\
%     \quad |{| |#4| \Arg{true code} \Arg{false code} |}|
%   \end{quote}
%
%   If the \meta{key} is present in the property list,
%   \cs{@@_split_aux:w}'s |#1| is the part before the \meta{key}, |#2|
%   is the \meta{value}, |#3| is the part after the \meta{key}, |#4| is
%   \cs{use_i:nn}, and |#5| is additional tokens that we do not care
%   about.  The \meta{true code} is left in the input stream, and can
%   use the parameters |#1|, |#2|, |#3| for the three parts of the
%   property list as desired.  Namely, the original property list is in
%   this case |#1| \cs{@@_pair:wn} \meta{key} \cs{s_@@} |{#2}| |#3|.
%
%   If the \meta{key} is not there, then the \meta{function} is
%   \cs{use_ii:nn}, which keeps the \meta{false code}.

%   The mapping is very similar to \cs{prop_map_function:NN}.  The
%   \cs{use_i:nn} removes the leading \cs{s_@@}.  The odd construction
%   |\use:n {#1}| allows |#1| to contain any token without interfering
%   with \cs{prop_map_break:}.  The loop stops when the \meta{key}
%   between \cs{@@_pair:wn} and \cs{s_@@} is \cs{fi:}
%   \cs{prop_map_break:} instead of being a string.
