Summary description: An expandable key=val implementation
Announcement text:
Starting with this release, key names will be `detokenize`d for more robustness. Handlers definable with `ekvdefunknown` and `ekvdefunknownNoVal` can be used to process undefined keys within a set. Also `ekvsetdef` was added to reduce some reoccurring overhead for user defined parsing macros.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/expkv The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/expkv/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

expkv – An expandable key=val implementation
expkv is a minimalistic but fast and expandable <key>=<val> implementation.
It provides two parsing macros:
- \ekvset{<set>}{<key=val list>} which is comparable to keyval’s \setkeys.
- \ekvparse<cs1><cs2>{<key=val list>} which can be used inside \expanded and expands to <cs1>{key} and <cs2>{key}{val} for the entries in the <key=val list>.
expkv has predictable brace-stripping behaviour and handles commas and equal signs with category codes 12 and 13 correctly.
A key-defining interface that is not as rudimentary as the macros provided in this package is contained in expkv-def.
