-- The original \PPCHTEX\ code was written in pure \TEX\, although later we made
-- the move from \PICTEX\ to \METAPOST\. The current implementation is a mix between
-- \TEX\, \LUA\ and \METAPOST. Although the first objective is to get a compatible
-- but better implementation, later versions might provide more.
--
-- Well, the later version has arrived as Alan took it upon him to make the code
-- deviate even further from the original implementation. The original (early \MKII)
-- variant operated within the boundaries of \PICTEX\ and as it supported MetaPost as
-- alternative output. As a consequence it still used a stepwise graphic construction
-- approach. As we used \TEX\ for parsing, the syntax was more rigid than it is now.
-- This new variant uses a more mathematical and metapostisch approach. In the process
-- more rendering variants have been added and alignment has been automated. As a result
-- the current user interface is slightly different from the old one but hopefully users
-- will like the added value.

-- directive_strictorder: one might set this to off when associated texts are disordered too
