% todo: setupxxx and setupxxxs (so a plural for the root setup and
% we can consider blocking the root)

% todo (e.g for columnsets and registers): \definexxx[parent][1]
%

%D A generalization of \MKIV-like inheritance. Just something to play
%D with (interface might change). The code here evolved in an email
%D exchange between me and Wolgang Schuster.

% 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.

%D Many mechanisms have some kind of inheritance in place, and these are
%D the speed||critical ones. Therefore there is no reason to stick to
%D \type {\@@xxkey} for the sake of performance. For this reason we also
%D provide a direct variant. This permits a more consistent treatment of
%D namespaces. A \type {\whateverparameter} call is three times slower
%D and a \type {\directwhateverparameter} call two times but for some
%D 100K expansions we only loose some .1 second which is neglectable
%D given the small amount of expansions in real runs.

%D We don't need colons for such simple cases.

% First we had, in tune with the regular system variables:
%
% \starttyping
% \unexpanded\def\installnamespace#1{\setvalue{????#1}{@@@@#1}}
% \stoptyping
%
% The following variant is nicer and in principle faster but that gets
% unnoticed unless lots of expansion happens. Also, we can use long tags
% but the internal expansion will be relatively small (and unlikely more
% than 4 characters). For instance, \??xx used to expand to @@xx but now
% becomes for instance 123::. This is one character more but in quite some
% cases we had : after such a tag in the old situation. In the new situation
% we create more namespaces and don't need that : any more, so we end up
% with on the average the same amount of tokens and definitely less when
% we consider cases like \??xx:\c!align: which now is just \??somealign and
% therefore has length 5 now (instead of 4+1+5+1=10).
%
% Eventualy we will have a verbose \blablanamespace and the difference between
% core and regular can go ... after all, \xxxparameter can already clash between
% the two prefix groups .. if users use this mechanism a lot they should use
% verbose names anyway (the old two character names were mostly an optimization
% as they also expanded to these characters).

% todo: register namespaces at lua end for logging and reverse resolve
% todo: move this to syst-ini so that we can use it real early
