% A fast key parsing scheme originally designed for \newforeach loop.
%
% \skvquickkeys.define{&lt;family&gt;}[&lt;hp&gt;]{&lt;list&gt;}
% \skvquickkeys.set{&lt;family&gt;}[&lt;na&gt;]{&lt;kvlist&gt;}
%
% 1. Quickly define and set command/store keys.
% 2. Pointers aren't used here, to speed up parsing. Use other key
%    machineries instead.
% 3. Package and class options can't be passed via quick keys.
% 4. When defining keys, the syntax of &lt;list&gt; is:
%
%    {&lt;keya-1,...,keya-n&gt;}/{&lt;default&gt;}/{&lt;callback&gt;}/{&lt;choice list&gt;}/{&lt;arg&gt;}
%    ;...;
%    {&lt;keyb-1,...,keyb-n&gt;}/{&lt;default&gt;}/{&lt;callback&gt;}/{&lt;choice list&gt;}/{&lt;arg&gt;}
%
%    Here, keys key1 and key2 will have the same default value, callback,
%    choice list and argument pattern.
%
% 5. The special keys '.exec' and '.exec code' will simply execute the
%    code &lt;default&gt;, without defining anything.
% 6. Use the token '.na' to indicate a missing item that isn't blank or empty.
% 7. The parser for defining the keys can be specified via \setquickkeysparser.
%    The default parser is semicolon (;).
%
% Example:
%  \skvquickkeys.define{fam}[mp@]{%
%    keya/true/\def\x##1{#1*##1}/true,false;
%    keyb;
%    keyc,keyd/aaa+bbb/\def\x##1{#1*##1*#2}/.na/#1+#2;

% Assign arguments to keys:
%
% \skvassignargs[&lt;prefixes&gt;]{&lt;families&gt;}{&lt;keys&gt;}{.&lt;expansion type&gt;{&lt;arg&gt;}}
%
% 1. Valid expansion types are .expand once, .expand twice, .expanded.
% 2. At set keys (not at define keys), the argument to the listed keys will
%    be expanded using the expansion type.
% 3. The argument will be assigned whether or not a key already has been
%    defined. This allows the user to define the key later, after its
%    argument has been fixed.
% 3. Under the macros \skvdefinekeys and \directkeys, there are equally
%    efficient handlers for assigning arguments to keys.
%
% Example:
%
%   \skvassignargs[KV1,KV2]{fam1,fam2}{keya,keyb}{.expanded{#1/#2}}
%
% The keys could then be set as
%
%   \skvsetkeys[KV1]{fam2}{keya=\vala/\valb}
%
% For each prefix and family, this will define parameterless functions
%
%   \&lt;prefix&gt;/&lt;family&gt;/&lt;key&gt;.@xxarg.
%
% which will be used at setkeys to define and execute the key's callback.

%  \skvappendslots[KV]{fam}{keyd,keye}{keya=.expanded{\vala},keyb=valb}
%     [def-d&amp;e]{\def\y##1{#1*##1}}
%
% 1. &lt;slots&gt; must pre-exist. If slot key is undefined, then the signal-slot
%    system isn't useful here since the slot will serve no purpose.
%
% 2. If desired, use pointers/handlers .expanded, .expand once, .expand twice
%    on values of &lt;slots&gt;.
%
% 3. Here, it helps to consider &lt;signal.keys&gt; as parents (or signals/
%   subjects/observables) and &lt;slots&gt; as children (or slots/observers).
%
% 4. &lt;signal.keys&gt; can't be preset, to avoid cyclic setting of keys.
%    Consider the following, for a signal key in the preset list:
%
%       set any key on a path -&gt; preset 'signal'
%       -&gt; set 'slot' -&gt; preset 'signal'.
%
%    In the attempt to set a slot key, the preset list (that includes
%    the signal key) will be instantiated.

% Slot/style keys represent a limited signal-slot (or subject-observer)

%
% The handlers here are:
%
% .slot, .slot value expanded, .slot expand once, .slot expand twice,
% .prepend slot, .prepend slot value expanded, .prepend slot expand once,
% .prepend slot expand twice, .append slot, .append slot value expanded,
% .append slot expand once, .append slot expand twice
%
% Note that the handlers are preceded by 'append' or 'prepend'.
%

%                            ,...,
%    {&lt;signal key1&gt;,...,&lt;signal key-n&gt;/{&lt;slot1=val1&gt;,...,&lt;slot-n=val-n&gt;}
%
% 2. Here the slots are linked with each signal key. When the signal key is
%    set, the associated slots will be set with the given values.
%
% 3. Examples:
%
%    a) The following example means that keyc and keyd are signals
%       (representations for the actions on their right, ie, for setting
%       the slots 'keya=\someright, keyb=\keybval' when keyc or keyd is set).
%       The values of keya and keyb will be expanded twice before the
%       keys are set:
%
%       .append slot expand twice={keyc,keyd}/{keya=\someright,keyb=\keybval}.
%
%    b) In the following example, #1 will be the value of keye and/or keyf
%       when they're set. The values of keye and keyf will be fully expanded
%       before they're assigned to keyc and keyd:
%
%       .prepend slot value expanded={keye,keyf}/{keyc=#1,keyd=#1}

%      {&lt;linkkey-1&gt;,..,&lt;linkkey-n&gt;}/{&lt;parentkey-1&gt;,...,&lt;parentkey-n&gt;}
%
% 2.  The parent key will be set (with the value of link key) whenever the
%     link key is set.
% 3.  If the link key didn't exist, it will be defined as an ordinary key
%     with the default value of the parent key. In this way, setting a
%     link key without value won't give rise to a 'no value and no default
%     error'.
% 4.  Example: Link keyb and keyc to existing keya:
%
%        .link={keyb,keyc}/keya
%
%     This is equivalent to:
%
%        .slot={{keyb,keyc}/keya=#1} OR .style={{keyb,keyc}/keya=#1}
%
%     This will link keyb and keyc to keya, such that when keyb and
%     keyc are set, keya too will be set with their values.

% options *+), but in this case we have &lt;try&gt; (ie, the maximum total number
% of attempts - families to search for a given key) before backing off,
% and &lt;upper goal&gt; (the maximum number of successful families in which a key
% should be set).
%
% \skvtrysetkeys too will set existing preset and postset keys in the
% given families.
%
% The options of \skvtrysetkeys are:
%
% .try:
%      The maximum number of the sum of successful and unsuccessful
%      attempts that should be made to set a key in the given SFs. The
%      default value of &lt;try&gt; is 100.
% .upper goal/.max success:
%      The max. number of search families (SF) in which a given key should
%      be set/executed, if the key existed in those families. The number of
%      SFs may be more than &lt;upper goal&gt;, but the key may not need to be
%      executed in all of them. The default value of &lt;upper goal&gt; is 1.
% .lower goal/.min success:
%      The min. number of search families (SF) in which a given key should
%      be set/executed. For any key, if &lt;hits&gt; is less than &lt;lower goal&gt;
%      an error will be flagged. The default of this is 0, meaning that
%      by default no error message will be returned if a key isn't found
%      on any of the paths.
% .path/.paths:
%      Paths to search &lt;pref1&gt;/&lt;fam1&gt;,...,&lt;pref-n&gt;/&lt;fam-n&gt;.
% .prefix
%      The prefix to search (default: KV). The number of prefixes can't
%      be more than 1. If you have multiple prefixes, then use the
%      .paths key. The given prefix will be prepended to all the given
%      families.
% .families/.family
%      The families to search &lt;fam1&gt;,...,&lt;fam-n&gt;.
% .ignore keys:
%      Ignored keys. These keys will not be set even if they are found.
% .save known keys:
%      The boolean that directs that known/found keys should be saved
%      in a macro.
% .save known keys in/success list macro/success list:
%      The macro into which to save known keys. Each known key is
%      saved in the format &lt;pref&gt;/&lt;fam&gt;/&lt;key&gt;. The user can
%      inspect this macro to see the found keys. The default macro is
%      \skvsuccesslist.
% .save unknown keys:
%      The boolean that directs that unknown keys should be saved
%      in a macro.
% .save unknown keys in/fail list macro/fail list:
%      The macro into which to save unknown keys. Each unknown key is
%      saved in the format &lt;pref&gt;/&lt;fam&gt;/&lt;key&gt;. The user can
%      inspect this macro to see the unknown keys. The default macro is
%      \skvfaillist.
% .path exception
%      The user-supplied action (code) to take when a key hasn't been found
%      on the curent path of the given paths. The default path exception
%      is nil.
% .hits exception
%      The user-supplied action (code) to take when the number of hits is
%      less than preferred minimum success. This may specify retrying on
%      some other paths. The default exception is an error message.
%
% NOTES:
%
% 1. When the paths are many, the user has to be right in choosing the
%    options '.try', '.upper goal' and '.lower goal', otherwise not
%    enough paths will be searched. For example, if you want some 'keya'
%    to be set on paths KV1/fam1, KV1/fam2, KV2/fam1, KV2/fam2, and you
%    set '.try=2' or '.upper goal=2', then only 2 paths will be traversed;
%    not the desired 4.
