%D \module
%D   [       file=supp-mis,
%D        version=2004.10.26, % 1997.01.04,
%D          title=\CONTEXT\ Support Macros,
%D       subtitle=Missing (For Generic Use),
%D         author=Hans Hagen,
%D           date=\currentdate,
%D      copyright={PRAGMA ADE \& \CONTEXT\ Development Team}]
%C
%C This module is part of the \CONTEXT\ macro||package and is
%C therefore copyrighted by \PRAGMA. See mreadme.pdf for
%C details.

%D I will clean up this module (a la supp-pdf.tex preamble).

%D Some support modules are more or less independant. This
%D module, which is not part of plain \CONTEXT, provides the
%D missing macros and declarations of registers.

\ifx \undefined \writestatus \else \expandafter \endinput \fi

%D Because \LATEX\ has no safe package loading mechanism, we
%D need to take care of possible interference.

\def\StartLatexHack % replace this by the one in supp-pdf
  {\edef\StopLatexHack
     {\catcode\string`\noexpand/=\the\catcode\string`/
      \catcode\string`\noexpand-=\the\catcode\string`-

      \catcode\string`\noexpand;=\the\catcode\string`;
      \catcode\string`\noexpand"=\the\catcode\string`"
      \catcode\string`\noexpand<=\the\catcode\string`<

  \catcode\string`"=12 \catcode\string`<=12
  \catcode\string`>=12 \catcode\string``=12 }

%D This hack is needed especially for \LATEX\ users who use
%D the Babel package. The Germans have active \type {"}'s, the
%D Poles have \type {/}, while the French have \type {:} and
%D \type {;} defines as command (thanks to Daniel Flipo for
%D pointing that out and testing). Potentially active \type
%D {?}'s and \type {!}'s are less dangerous since they are
%D handled by the \type {\protect} and \type {\unprotect}
%D macros.

\StartLatexHack

%D \macros
%D   {ifnocontextobject}
%D
%D First we take care of redundant defining. The next set of
%D macros are a bit complicated by the fact that Plain
%D \TEX\ defines the \type{\new}||macros as being outer.
%D Furthermore nested \type{\if}'s can get us into
%D trouble.

\def\definecontextobject
  {\iftrue}

\def\gobblecontextobject
  {\setbox0\hbox

\long\def\ifnocontextobject#1\do
  {\ifx#1\undefined
     \expandafter\definecontextobject
   \else
     %\writestatus{system}{beware of conflicting \string#1}%
     \expandafter\gobblecontextobject
   \fi}

%D \macros
%D   {beginETEX,beginTEX}
%D
%D Outside \CONTEXT\ we will not be \ETEX||aware.

\long\def\beginETEX #1\endETEX {}

\let\beginTEX\relax \let\endTEX\relax

%D \macros
%D   {writestatus}
%D
%D We start each module with a message. Normally the output is
%D formatted, but here we keep things simple.

\ifnocontextobject \writestatus \do

  \def\writestatus#1#2{\immediate\write16{#1 : #2}}

%D Let's see if it works.

%D \macros
%D   {protect,unprotect}
%D
%D Next we present a poor mans alternative for \type{\protect}
%D and \type{\unprotect}, two commands that enable us to use
%D the characters \type{@}, \type{!} and \type{?} in macro
%D names.

%D \macros
%D   {scratch...,if...,next...}
%D
%D We need some scratch registers. Users are free to use them,
%D but can never be sure of their value once another macro is
%D called. We only allocate things when they are yet
%D undefined. This way we can't mess up other macro packages,
%D but of course previous definitions can mess up our modules.
