%  \author{Morten H\o gholm}

%  \maketitle
%
%  \begin{abstract}
%    The \pkg{mhsetup} package provides tools for a \LaTeX{}
%    programming environment similar to the one described in
%    \texttt{expl3} on \textsc{ctan} although not as extensive. It is
%    a required part of both the \pkg{mathtools} and \pkg{empheq}
%    packages.
%  \end{abstract}
%
%  The description below was made before the extensive changes made to
%  the expl3 code available from the LaTeX Project website.
%
%  \section{The new internal syntax}
%
%  
%  The \LaTeX3 package \pkg{ldcsetup} defines the command
%  \cs{InternalSyntaxOn} which makes |_| and |:| letters and then
%  automatically restores the category codes at the end of the
%  package. This usually works fine but when you try to load
%  \pkg{amstext} you will experience that \TeX{} goes into an
%  infinite loop. Packages containing code like
%  |\@for\@tempa:=\@tempb\do{...}| will not work correctly either,
%  thus we provide an alternative version here with the pair of
%  commands
%  \DescribeMacro{\MHInternalSyntaxOn}\cs{MHInternalSyntaxOn} and
%  \DescribeMacro{\MHInternalSyntaxOff}\cs{MHInternalSyntaxOff}. They
%  are to be used only as a pair, because \cs{MHInternalSyntaxOn}
%  defines \cs{MHInternalSyntaxOff} so that it restores the category
%  codes correctly.
%
%
%  \section{Handling optional arguments}
%
%  The standard behavior of scanning for optional arguments in
%  \LaTeX{} allows any number of spaces preceding the optional
%  argument and that is not always good in math. For that reason
%  \pkg{amsmath} makes sure that commands like |\\| disallows spaces
%  before the optional argument but at the same time it fails to
%  provide ``safe'' environments. What would you expect from the
%  following input?
%  \begin{verbatim}
%  \[
%    \begin{gathered}
%      [v] = 100 \\
%      [t] = 200
%    \end{gathered}
%  \]
%  \end{verbatim}
%  \LaTeX{} will see the \texttt{[v]} as an optional argument of
%  \env{gathered} and use it. In this case the test inside
%  \env{gathered} checks if it's a \texttt{t} or \texttt{b} and if
%  it's neither it'll choose \cs{vcenter} internally. So you get no
%  warning, only missing output. Another example, this time from the
%  \pkg{empheq} package used with its \opt{overload} option: If
%  preceding spaces are allowed, the input
%  \begin{verbatim}
%    \begin{gather}
%      [a] = [b]
%    \end{gather}
%  \end{verbatim}
%  results in the rather strange error message
%  \begin{verbatim}
%    ! Package keyval Error: a undefined.
%  \end{verbatim}
%
%  When using \cs{newcommand} etc.\ for defining commands and
%  environments with optional arguments, the peek ahead is done by
%  \cs{kernel@ifnextchar} (since \LaTeX{} release 2003/12/01, else
%  \cs{@ifnextchar}) and it is \emph{hardwired at definition time} by
%  \cs{@xargdef}. With the commands
%  \DescribeMacro{\MHPrecedingSpacesOff}\cs{MHPrecedingSpacesOff} and
%  \DescribeMacro{\MHPrecedingSpacesOn}\cs{MHPrecedingSpacesOn}
%  \pkg{mhsetup} provides an interface to define commands and
%  environments where the optional argument cannot have preceding
%  spaces. You simply wrap them around the definitions:
%  \begin{verbatim}
%  \MHPrecedingSpacesOff
%  \newenvironment*{test}[1][default]{Start, arg: (#1)}{Ending.}
%  \MHPrecedingSpacesOn
%  \begin{test}
%    [text]
%  \end{test}
%  \begin{test}[text]
%  \end{test}
%  \end{verbatim}
%  \MHPrecedingSpacesOff
%  \newenvironment*{test}[1][default]{Start, arg: (#1)}{Ending.}
%  \MHPrecedingSpacesOn
%  \begin{quote}
%  \begin{test}
%    [text]
%  \end{test}
%  \begin{test}[text]
%  \end{test}
%  \end{quote}
%  It is of somewhat limited use in commands (control words in \TeX{}
%  terminology), because \TeX{} discards the spaces. The exception is
%  \emph{control symbols} where \TeX{} obeys following spaces but
%  there are rather few of them available. All is not lost however.
%  In the \env{aligned} environment from \pkg{amsmath} (shown below)
%  a command is used as argument grabber.
%  \begin{verbatim}
%  \newenvironment{aligned}{%
%    \let\@testopt\alignsafe@testopt
%    \aligned@a
%  }{%
%    \crcr\egroup
%    \restorecolumn@
%    \egroup
%  }
%  \newcommand{\aligned@a}[1][c]{\start@aligned{#1}\m@ne}
%  \end{verbatim}
%  By applying our trick on the grabber function, we get a space
%  obeying version:
%  \begin{verbatim}
%  \MHPrecedingSpacesOff
%  \renewcommand*\aligned@a[1][c]{\start@aligned{#1}\m@ne}
%  \MHPrecedingSpacesOn
%  \end{verbatim}
%  This way a nested \env{aligned} environment is still safe from
%  empty first cells.

%  \subsection{Programming tools}
%
%  The whole idea is to provide programming tools that are convenient
%  but not yet widely available. I hope this'll be obsolete soon!
%
%  Firstly we setup a few helper functions.
%  \begin{macro}{\MH_let:NwN}
%  An alias for \cs{let}.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\let\MH_let:NwN \let
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%  \begin{macro}{\MH_let:cN}
%  This one takes a \cs{csname}-\cs{endcsname} name and \cs{let}s it
%  to a single macro. We'll use this to setup our conditionals.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\MH_let:cN #1#2{
  \expandafter\MH_let:NwN \csname#1\endcsname#2}
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%  \begin{macro}{\MH_let:cc}
%  This one has takes a \cs{csname}-\cs{endcsname} name and \cs{let}s
%  it to a another \cs{csname}-\cs{endcsname} name. To be used in
%  constructions with weird characters like \texttt{*} or alike in
%  them and can take a \cs{global} prefix if wanted (we want that
%  later on).
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\MH_let:cc #1#2{
  \expandafter\MH_let:NwN\csname#1\expandafter\endcsname
  \csname#2\endcsname}
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%
%  \begin{macro}{\MH_new_boolean:n}
%  \begin{macro}{\MH_set_boolean_F:n}
%  \begin{macro}{\MH_set_boolean_T:n}
%  \begin{macro}{\MH_if_boolean:nTF}
%  \begin{macro}{\MH_if_boolean:nT}
%  \begin{macro}{\MH_if_boolean:nF}
%  Sets up conditionals. For instance
%  \begin{quote}
%    \cs{MH_new_boolean:n} \marg{name}
%  \end{quote}
%  defines the boolean \meta{name} but also the conditional
%  \cs{if_boolean_\meta{name}:} to be used in the ordinary
%  \begin{tabbing}
%    \mbox{}\quad\= \kill
%    \cs{if_boolean_\meta{name}:}\\
%    \> \meta{true code} \\
%    \cs{else:} \\
%    \> \meta{false code} \\
%    \cs{fi:}
%  \end{tabbing}
%  There is also a more ``\LaTeX-like'' interface available by using
%  the commands
%  \begin{quote}
%    \cs{MH_if_boolean:nT}\marg{name}\marg{arg}
%  \end{quote}
%  which will execute the argument if the current value of the
%  boolean is `true' while
%  \begin{quote}
%  \cs{MH_if_boolean:nF}\marg{name}\marg{arg}
%  \end{quote}
%  is the equivalent with `false'. Finally we have
%  \begin{quote}
%  \cs{MH_if_boolean:nTF}\marg{name}\marg{true code}\marg{false code}.
%  \end{quote}
%  This is the interface I have used in this package.
%
%  Initially \cs{if_boolean_\meta{name}:} is `false'. This can be
%  changed by saying
%  \begin{tabbing}
%    \quad \= \LaTeX:\quad \= \kill
%    \> \TeX: \>   \cs{boolean_\meta{name}_true:} \quad \emph{or}\\
%    \> \LaTeX: \> \cs{MH_set_boolean_T:n}\marg{name}
%  \end{tabbing}
%  and changed back again by
%  \begin{tabbing}
%    \quad \= \LaTeX:\quad \= \kill
%    \> \TeX: \>   \cs{boolean_\meta{name}_false:} \quad \emph{or}\\
%    \> \LaTeX: \> \cs{MH_set_boolean_F:n}\marg{name}
%  \end{tabbing}
%
%  And yes, we're also using alternative names for \cs{else} and
%  \cs{fi} now. That way a simple search and replace will be all that
%  is needed for this package to be a certified \LaTeX3 package (well,
%  maybe a little more is needed, but not much).
