eoldef: define commands which absorb the whole source line as arguments.

Usage: \eoldef <control sequence> <parameter text> { <replacement text> } defines a control sequence that is delimited by the end-of-line in addition to the specified parameter text. This enables less verbose markdown-like syntax.

For instance, \eoldef\test#1:#2{} and

\test abc:def

will give #1 = abc, #2 = def.

\eoldef is the \global variant to \eoldef.

Like \verb|...|, \eoldef'd commands may generally not be used as part of another command's argument as it changes catcodes. However, if you must use it in environments where catcodes are frozen, you may follow the command with a braced argument, eg. \test{#1:#2} using the previous example.

This package may be used in plain TeX or LaTeX by \input{eoldef}.
