% problem: every* could clash
%
% There can be less {} in the following definitions if we assume \??aa and \c!somecs
%
% todo: \def\detokenized...parameter#1{\detokenize\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter{\csname#1#2\endcsname}} % always root
%
% it might be more efficient to do this at the lua and
%
% watch the push/pop and predefinition of current .. this is needed for nested
% definitions and overloaded defines using the predefined one

% todo: add (relaxed) postsetup and postdefine hooks, just after the everys

% Start of experimental code: especially tables can have many assignments
% and although most time is spent in the typesetting anyway, we can squeeze
% out a little bit. Of course having 500 rows of 50 columns each with some
% setting does not happen that often. One should keep in mind that in the
% average document having some 500 assignments is no exception but there we're
% talking of neglectable runtime for them. Of course in the definitions below
% there is no real gain, only in the generated \setup* commands. Another
% situation with many assignments is \XML\ where we can pass attributes
% and normally don't do testing of them making sense.
