 <ul>
+<li><p><strong>xintkernel</strong>: <code>\xintLength</code> is faster. New macros:</p>

+<li><p><code>\xintLastItem</code> to fetch the last item from its argument,</p></li>

+<li><p><strong>xinttools</strong>: general token list handling routines <code>\xintKeep</code>, <code>\xintTrim</code> and <code>\xintNthElt</code> are faster; but the novel <code>\xintTrim</code> can only remove up to a maximum of 531440 items.</p>
+<p>Also, <code>\xintFor</code> partially improves on some issues which are reported upon in the documentation.</p></li>
+<li><p>some old macros have been rewritten entirely or partially using techniques which <strong>xint</strong> started using in release <code>1.2</code>:</p>

+<li><p><strong>xintfrac</strong>: as a result of the above <code>\xintTrunc</code>, <code>\xintRound</code> and <code>\xintXTrunc</code> got faster. But the main improvement for them is with decimal inputs which formerly had not been treated separately from the general fraction case. Also, <code>\xintXTrunc</code> does not anymore create a dependency of <strong>xintfrac</strong> on <strong>xinttools</strong>.</p></li>
+</ul></li>
+<li><p>the documentation has again been (slightly) re-organized; it has a new sub-section on the Miller-Rabin primality test, to illustrate some use of <code>\xintNewFunction</code> for recursive definitions.</p></li>
+<li><p>the documentation has dropped the LaTeX "command" terminology (which had been used initially in 2013 for some forgotten reasons and should have been removed long ago) and uses only the more apt "macro", as after all, all of <strong>xint</strong> is about expansion of macros (plus the use of <code>\numexpr</code>).</p></li>

+`1.2i (2016/12/13)`
+----
+
+### Incompatible changes
+
+ - some macros which had been marked as deprecated are removed (they are
+   available under different names): `\xintifTrue`, `\xintifTrueFalse`,
+   `\xintQuo`, `\xintRem`, `\xintquo`, `\xintrem`.
+
+ - `\xintDecSplit` second argument must have no sign (former code
+   replaced it with its absolute value, a sign now may cause an error.)
+
+### Improvements and new features
+
+ - **xintkernel**: `\xintLength` is faster. New macros:
+
+    - `\xintLastItem` to fetch the last item from its argument,
+
+    - `\romannumeral\xintgobble` for gobbling many (up to 531440)
+      upstream braced items or tokens.
+
+    - `\romannumeral\xintreplicate` which is copied over from the expl3
+      `\prg_replicate:nn` with some minor changes.
+
+ - **xinttools**: general token list handling routines `\xintKeep`,
+   `\xintTrim` and `\xintNthElt` are faster; but the novel `\xintTrim`
+   can only remove up to a maximum of 531440 items.
+
+
+     Also, `\xintFor` partially improves on some issues which are
+   reported upon in the documentation.
+
+ - some old macros have been rewritten entirely or partially using
+   techniques which **xint** started using in release `1.2`:
+
+    - **xintcore**: `\xintDouble`, `\xintHalf`, `\xintInc`, `\xintDec`,
+      `\xintiiLDg`, `\xintDSR` (originally from **xint**), a novel
+      `\xintDSRr`.
+
+    - **xint**: `\xintDSH`, `\xintDSx`, `\xintDecSplit`, `\xintiiE`.
+
+    - **xintfrac**: as a result of the above `\xintTrunc`, `\xintRound`
+      and `\xintXTrunc` got faster. But the main improvement for them is
+      with decimal inputs which formerly had not been treated separately
+      from the general fraction case. Also, `\xintXTrunc` does not
+      anymore create a dependency of **xintfrac** on **xinttools**.
+
+ - the documentation has again been (slightly) re-organized; it has a
+   new sub-section on the Miller-Rabin primality test, to illustrate
+   some use of `\xintNewFunction` for recursive definitions.
+
+ - the documentation has dropped the LaTeX "command" terminology (which
+   had been used initially in 2013 for some forgotten reasons and should
+   have been removed long ago) and uses only the more apt "macro", as
+   after all, all of **xint** is about expansion of macros (plus the use
+   of `\numexpr`).
+
+### Bug fixes
+
+ - `\xintDecSplitL` and `\xintDecSplitR` from **xint** produced their
+   output in a spurious brace pair (bug introduced in `1.2f`).

+The macro |\Fibonacci| produces not one specific value |F(N)| but a pair of
+successive values |{F(N)}{F(N+1)}| which can then serve as starting point of
+another routine devoted to compute a whole sequence |F(N), F(N+1),
+F(N+2),....|. Each of |F(N)| and |F(N+1)| is kept in the encapsulated internal
+\xintexprname format.
+
+|\FibonacciN| produces the single |F(N)|. It also keeps it in the private
+format; thus printing it will need the |\xintthe| prefix.
+
+\begingroup\footnotesize\sffamily\baselineskip 10pt
+Here a code snippet which
+checks the routine via a \string\message\ of the first $51$ Fibonacci
+numbers (this is not an efficient way to generate a sequence of such
+numbers, it is only for validating \csa{FibonacciN}).

+\end{everbatim}
+\endgroup
+
+The way we use |\expandafter|'s to chain successive |\xintiieval| evaluations
+is exactly analogous to what is possible with |\numexpr|. The various
+|\romannumeral0\xintiieval| could very well all have been |\xintiiexpr|'s but
+then we would have needed |\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter| each
+time.
+
+\begin{framed}
+  There is a difference though: |\numexpr| does \emph{NOT} expand inside an
+  |\edef|, and to force its expansion we must prefix it with |\the| or
+  |\number| or |\romannumeral| or another |\numexpr| which is itself prefixed,
+  etc\dots.
+
+  But |\xintexpr|, |\xintiexpr|, ..., expand fully in an |\edef|, with the
+  completely expanded
+  result encapsulated in a private format.
+
+  Using |\xintthe| as prefix is necessary to print the result (like |\the| or
+  |\number| in the case of |\numexpr|), but it is not necessary to get the
+  computation done (contrarily to the situation with |\numexpr|).
+\end{framed}
+
+
+Our |\Fibonacci| expands completely under \fexpan sion, so we can use
+\hyperref[fdef]{\ttfamily\char92fdef} rather than |\edef| in a situation such
+as
+%
+\leftedline {|\fdef \X {\FibonacciN {100}}|}
+%
+but it is usually about as efficient to employ |\edef|. And if we want
+%
+\leftedline{|\edef \Y {(\FibonacciN{100},\FibonacciN{200})}|,}
+%
+then |\edef| is necessary.
+
+Allright, so let's now give the code to generate |{F(N)}{F(N+1)}{F(N+2)}...|,
+using |\Fibonacci| for the first two and then using the standard recursion

 \subsection{Expansion matters}
 
-\subsubsection{Generalities about expandability in \TeX}
-
-\TeX{} is a macro language, and ``expansion'' is thus a crucial aspect, which
-will be quite unfamiliar to most everyone with standard knowledge of the usual
-programming languages. The whole of \xintname is about \emph{expandably}
-implementing arithmetic computations. What does that mean ?
-
-\LaTeX{} users are familiar with counters, and its command |\setcounter|. The
-first argument is the name of the counter, the second argument is a number (in
-the TeX sense of being acceptable in |\count| assignments), or more generally
-something which will expand to a number. For example:
-\begin{everbatim}
-\newcounter{Foo}
-\newcommand{\Bar}{17}
-\setcounter{Foo}{\Bar}
-\addtocounter{Foo}{\Bar}
-\arabic{Foo}
-\end{everbatim}
-works and produces |34|. But imagine we have some macro |\Double| which
-accepts a numerical string of digits, and outputs its double as a string of
-digits (or perhaps some count with this value). Can we do this:
-\begin{everbatim}
-\setcounter{Foo}{\Double{\Bar}}    ?
-\end{everbatim}
-The answer depends on the \emph{expandability} of |\Double|. Perhaps |\Double|
-will do a |\newcommand| internally? or perhaps it used the \TeX{} primitives
-|\advance| or |\multiply|? then it is \emph{not} expandable in this
-context where \TeX{} is seeking to do a number assignment (which is
-to what the \LaTeX{} |\setcounter| boils down in the end). This does not mean
-that expansion does not apply, but something completely different: expansion
-produces ``tokens'' which \TeX{} does not accept in such a context of
-assigning  a value to a |\count|.
-
-Some users of \LaTeX{} know about the \TeX{} primitive |\edef|. Another way to
-test expandability of |\Double| is to try |\edef\test{\Double{\Bar}}|: the
-criterion is that |\Double| will expand, do its stuff, and clean up everything
-and only leave the result of its action on |\Bar|. Thus typically if |\Double|
-does a |\newcommand| (or rather a |\def|), then this will not be the case. The
-|\newcommand| or |\def| simply does \emph{not} get executed inside an |\edef|!
-This is not completely equivalent to the earlier context, because when \TeX{}
-seeks to build a number it has additional special constructs, like |"| to
-prefix hexadecimal inputs, and thus the behavior is not exactly the same in an
-|\edef|, but I am just trying to give a gist here of what happens.
-
-The little paradox is that \TeX{} from the start always required expandability
-when doing assignments to count registers, or dimen registers, ..., but basic
-arithmetic was provided via |\advance|, |\multiply|, and |\divide| primitives
-which are \emph{not} expandable.%
-%
-\footnote{This is not to say that expandable arithmetic was not possible, it
-  is possible and has been done via the recording of the carries of digit
-  arithmetic in many macros and usage of some tools provided by the \TeX{}
-  language, but this is very cumbersome and slow (even in the \TeX{}
-  context).}
-%
-For example, something like
-\begin{everbatim}
-\setcounter{Foo}{\count0=\Bar\relax \multiply\count0 by 2
-                 \advance\count0 by 15 \the\count0 }
-\end{everbatim}
-although not creating errors produces only non-sense.

-  is functional only inside macros |calc| knows about.} one would simply do
-\begin{everbatim}
-\setcounter{Foo}{\numexpr 2*\Bar+15\relax}

+\subsection{Completely expandable prime test}
+\label{ssec:primesI}
+
+Let us now construct a completely expandable macro which returns $1$ if its
+given input is prime and $0$ if not:
+\everb|@
+\def\remainder #1#2{\the\numexpr #1-(#1/#2)*#2\relax }
+\def\IsPrime #1%
+ {\xintANDof {\xintApply {\remainder {#1}}{\xintSeq {2}{\xintiSqrt{#1}}}}}
+|
+
+This uses \csbxint{iSqrt} and assumes its input is at least $5$. Rather than
+\xintname's own \csbxint{iRem} we used a quicker |\numexpr| expression as we
+are dealing with short integers. Also we used \csbxint{ANDof} which will
+return $1$ only if all the items are non-zero. The macro is a bit
+silly with an even input, ok, let's enhance it to detect an even input:
+\everb|@
+\def\IsPrime #1%
+   {\xintifOdd {#1}
+        {\xintANDof % odd case
+            {\xintApply {\remainder {#1}}
+                        {\xintSeq [2]{3}{\xintiSqrt{#1}}}%
+            }%
+        }
+        {\xintifEq {#1}{2}{1}{0}}%
+   }
+|
+
+We used the \xintname expandable tests (on big integers or fractions)
+in order for |\IsPrime| to be \fexpan dable.
+
+Our integers are short, but without |\expandafter|'s with
+|\@firstoftwo|, % @ n'est plus actif dans le dtx 1.1 !
+or some other related techniques,
+direct use of |\ifnum..\fi| tests is dangerous. So to make the macro more
+efficient we are going to use the expandable tests provided by the package
+\href{http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox}{etoolbox}%
+%
+\footnote{\url{http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox}}.
+%
+The macro becomes:
+%
+\everb|@
+\def\IsPrime #1%
+   {\ifnumodd {#1}
+    {\xintANDof % odd case
+     {\xintApply {\remainder {#1}}{\xintSeq [2]{3}{\xintiSqrt{#1}}}}}
+    {\ifnumequal {#1}{2}{1}{0}}}
+|
+
+In the odd case however we have to assume the integer is at least $7$, as
+|\xintSeq| generates an empty list if |#1=3| or |5|, and |\xintANDof| returns
+$1$ when supplied an empty list. Let us ease up a bit |\xintANDof|'s work by
+letting it work on only $0$'s and $1$'s. We could use:
+%
+\everb|@
+\def\IsNotDivisibleBy #1#2%
+  {\ifnum\numexpr #1-(#1/#2)*#2=0 \expandafter 0\else \expandafter1\fi}
+|
+\noindent
+where the |\expandafter|'s are crucial for this macro to be \fexpan dable and
+hence work within the applied \csbxint{ANDof}. Anyhow, now that we have loaded
+\href{http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox}{etoolbox}, we might as well use:
+%
+\everb|@
+\newcommand{\IsNotDivisibleBy}[2]{\ifnumequal{#1-(#1/#2)*#2}{0}{0}{1}}
+|
+\noindent
+Let us enhance our prime macro to work also on the small primes:
+\everb|@
+\newcommand{\IsPrime}[1] % returns 1 if #1 is prime, and 0 if not
+  {\ifnumodd {#1}
+    {\ifnumless {#1}{8}
+      {\ifnumequal{#1}{1}{0}{1}}% 3,5,7 are primes
+      {\xintANDof
+         {\xintApply
+        { \IsNotDivisibleBy {#1}}{\xintSeq [2]{3}{\xintiSqrt{#1}}}}%
+        }}% END OF THE ODD BRANCH
+    {\ifnumequal {#1}{2}{1}{0}}% EVEN BRANCH
+}
+|
+
+The input is still assumed positive. There is a deliberate blank before
+\csa{IsNotDivisibleBy} to use this feature of \csbxint{Apply}: a space stops the
+expansion of the applied macro (and disappears). This expansion will be done by
+\csbxint{ANDof}, which has been designed to skip everything as soon as it finds
+a false (i.e. zero) input. This way, the efficiency is considerably improved.
+
+We did generate via the \csbxint{Seq} too many potential divisors though. Later
+sections give two variants: one with \csbxint{iloop} (\autoref{ssec:primesII})
+which is still expandable and another one (\autoref{ssec:primesIII}) which is a
+close variant of the |\IsPrime| code above but with the \csbxint{For} loop, thus
+breaking expandability. The \hyperref[ssec:primesII]{xintiloop variant} does not
+first evaluate the integer square root, the \hyperref[ssec:primesIII]{xintFor
+  variant} still does. I did not compare their efficiencies.
+
+
+Let us construct with this expandable primality test a table of the prime
+numbers up to $1000$. We need to count how many we have in order to know how
+many tab stops one shoud add in the last row.%
+%
+\footnote{although a tabular row may have less tabs than in the
+  preamble, there is a problem with the \char`\|\space\space vertical
+  rule, if one does that.}
+%
+There is some subtlety for this
+last row. Turns out to be better to insert a |\\| only when we know for sure we
+are starting a new row; this is how we have designed the |\OneCell| macro. And
+for the last row, there are many ways, we use again |\xintApplyUnbraced| but
+with a macro which gobbles its argument and replaces it with a tabulation
+character. The \csbxint{For*} macro would be more elegant here.

+\subsection{Another completely expandable prime test}
+\label{ssec:primesII}
+
+The |\IsPrime| macro from \autoref{ssec:primesI} checked expandably if a (short)
+integer was prime, here is a partial rewrite using \csbxint{iloop}. We use the
+|etoolbox| expandable conditionals for convenience, but not everywhere as
+|\xintiloopindex| can not be evaluated while being braced. This is also the
+reason why |\xintbreakiloopanddo| is delimited, and the next macro
+|\SmallestFactor| which returns the smallest prime factor examplifies that. One
+could write more efficient completely expandable routines, the aim here was only
+to illustrate use of the general purpose \csbxint{iloop}. A little table giving
+the first values of |\SmallestFactor| follows, its coding uses \csbxint{For},
+which is described later; none of this uses count registers.

+\subsection{Miller-Rabin Pseudo-Primality expandably}
+\label{ssec:PrimesIV}
+
+This section is based on my \url{http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/165008} post.
+But I have modified it to use \csbxint{NewFunction} which is available since
+|1.2i|. This is good opportunity to illustrate how \csbxint{NewFunction} can be
+used to define a recursive function (here modular exponentiation.)
+
+The |isPseudoPrime(n)| is usable in \csbxint{iiexpr}-essions and establishes
+if its (positive) argument is a Miller-Rabin PseudoPrime to the bases $2, 3,
+5, 7, 11, 13, 17$. If this is true and $n<341550071728321$ (which has 15
+digits) then $n$ really is a prime number.
+
+Similarly $n=3825123056546413051$ (19 digits) is the smallest composite number
+which is a strong pseudo prime for bases $2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19$ and
+$23$. It is easy to extend the code below to include these additional tests
+(we could make the list of tested bases an argument too, now that I think
+about it.)
+
+For more information see
+  \centeredline{\url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller%E2%80%93Rabin_primality_test#Deterministic_variants_of_the_test}}
+  and
+\centeredline{\url{http://primes.utm.edu/prove/prove2_3.html}}
+
+In particular, according to \textsc{Jaeschke} \emph{On strong pseudoprimes to
+  several bases,} Math. Comp., 61 (1993) 915-926, if $n < 4,759,123,141$ it is
+enough to establish Rabin-Miller pseudo-primality to bases $a = 2, 7, 61$ to
+prove that $n$ is prime. This range is enough for \TeX\ numbers and we could
+then write a very fast expandable primality test for such numbers using only
+|\numexpr|. Left as an exercise\dots

+\subsection{A table of factorizations}
+\label{ssec:factorizationtable}
+
+As one more example with \csbxint{iloop} let us use an alignment to display the
+factorization of some numbers. The loop will actually only play a minor r\^ole
+here, just handling the row index, the row contents being almost entirely
+produced via a macro |\factorize|. The factorizing macro does not use
+|\xintiloop| as it didn't appear to be the convenient tool. As |\factorize| will
+have to be used on |\xintiloopindex|, it has been defined as a delimited macro.
+
+To spare some fractions of a second in the compilation time of this document
+(which has many many other things to do), \number"7FFFFFED{} and
+\number"7FFFFFFF, which turn out to be prime numbers, are not given to
+|factorize| but just typeset directly; this illustrates use of
+\csbxint{iloopskiptonext}.
+
+The code next generates a \hyperref[floatfactorize]{table} which has
+been made into a float appearing \vpageref{floatfactorize}. Here is now
+the code for factorization; the conditionals use the package provided
+|\xint_firstoftwo| and |\xint_secondoftwo|, one could have employed
+rather \LaTeX{}'s own |\@firstoftwo| and |\@secondoftwo|, or, simpler
+still in \LaTeX{} context, the |\ifnumequal|, |\ifnumless| \dots,
+utilities from the package |etoolbox| which do exactly that under the
+hood. Only \TeX{} acceptable numbers are treated here, but it would be
+easy to make a translation and use the \xintname macros, thus extending

+\subsection{Another table of primes}
+\label{ssec:primesIII}
+
+As a further example, let us dynamically generate a tabular with the first $50$
+prime numbers after $12345$. First we need a macro to test if a (short) number
+is prime. Such a completely expandable macro was given in \autoref{ssec:primesI},
+here we consider a variant which will be slightly more efficient. This new
+|\IsPrime| has two parameters. The first one is a macro which it redefines to
+expand to the result of the primality test applied to the second argument. For
+convenience we use the \href{http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox}{etoolbox} wrappers to
+various |\ifnum| tests, although here there isn't anymore the constraint of
+complete expandability (but using explicit |\if..\fi| in tabulars has its
+quirks); equivalent tests are provided by \xintname, but they have some overhead
+as they are able to deal with arbitrarily big integers.
+
+\def\IsPrime #1#2%
+{\edef\TheNumber {\the\numexpr #2}% positive integer
+ \ifnumodd {\TheNumber}
+ {\ifnumgreater {\TheNumber}{1}
+  {\edef\ItsSquareRoot{\xintiSqrt \TheNumber}%
+    \xintFor ##1 in {\xintintegers [3+2]}\do

+                 {}%
+    }}

+
+

+It puts a little stress on the input save stack in order
+not be bothered with previously gathered things.\footnote{2015/11/18 I have
+  not revisited this code for a long time, and perhaps I could improve it now
+  with some new techniques.}
+
+Its output is a comma separated list with the number first, then its prime
+factors with multiplicity. Let's produce something prettier:

+\end{everbatim}
+$$\csname ShowFactors_a\expandafter\endcsname\Z,\relax,\relax,$$
+\endgroup
+
+If we only considered small integers, we could write pure |\numexpr| methods
+which would be very much faster (especially if we had a table of small primes
+prepared first) but still ridiculously slow compared to any non expandable
+implementation, not to mention use of programming languages directly accessing
+the CPU registers\dots
+
+\subsection{The Quick Sort algorithm illustrated}\label{ssec:quicksort}
+
+First a completely expandable macro which sorts a comma separated list of
+numbers.%
+%
+\footnote{The code in earlier versions of this manual handled inputs composed
+  of braced items. I have switched to comma separated inputs on the occasion
+  of \url{http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/273084}. The version here is like
+  |code 3| on \url{http://tex.stackexchange.com} (which is about |3x| faster
+  than the earlier code it replaced in this manual) with a modification to
+  make it more efficient if the data has many repeated values.
+
+  A faster routine (for sorting hundreds of values) is provided as |code 6| at
+  the link mentioned in the footnote, it is based on Merge Sort, but limited
+  to inputs which one can handle as \TeX{} dimensions.%
+
+  This |code 6| could be extended to handle more general numbers, as
+  acceptable by \xintfracname. I have also written a non expandable version,
+  which is even faster, but this matters really only when handling hundreds or
+  rather thousands of values.}
+%
+
+The |\QSx| macro expands its list argument, which may thus be a macro; its
+comma separated items must expand to integers or decimal numbers or fractions
+or scientific notation as acceptable to \xintfracname, but if an item is
+itself some (expandable) macro, this macro will be expanded each time the item
+is considered in a comparison test! This is actually good if the macro expands
+in one step to the digits, and there are many many digits, but bad if the macro
+needs to do many computations. Thus |\QSx| should be used with either explicit
+numbers or with items being macros expanding in one step to the numbers
+(particularly if these numbers are very big).
+
+If the interest is only in \TeX{} integers, then one should replace the
+|\xintifCmp| macro with a suitable conditional, possibly helped by tools such as
+|\ifnumgreater|, |\ifnumequal| and |\ifnumless| from
+\href{http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox}{etoolbox} (\LaTeX{} only; I didn't see a
+direct equivalent to |\xintifCmp|.) Or, if we are dealing with decimal numbers
+with at most four+four digits, then one should use suitable |\ifdim| tests.
+Naturally this will boost consequently the speed, from having skipped all the
+overhead in parsing fractions and scientific numbers as are acceptable by
+\xintfracname macros, and subsequent treatment.

+All these examples were with numbers which may have been handled via |\ifdim|
+tests rather than \csbxint{ifCmp} from \xintfracname ; naturally that would
+have been faster. For a yet faster routine (based however on the Merge Sort
+and using the |\pdfescapestring| PDF\TeX{} primitive) see |code 6| at
+\url{http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/273084}.
+
+We then turn to a graphical illustration of the algorithm.%
+%
+\footnote{I have rewritten the routine to do only once (and not thrice) the
+  needed calls to \csa{xintifCmp}, up to the price of one additional |\edef|,
+  although due to the context execution time on our side is not an issue and
+  moreover is anyhow overwhelmed by the TikZ's activities. Simultaneously I
+  have updated the code \url{http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/142634/4686}. The
+  variant with the choice of pivot on the right has more overhead: the reason
+  is simply that we do not convert the data into an array, but maintain a list
+  of tokens with self-reorganizing delimiters.}
+%
+For simplicity the pivot is always chosen as the first list item. Then we also
+give a variant which picks up the last item as pivot.

-\def\IsPrime #1%

-This uses \csbxint{iSqrt} and assumes its input is at least $5$. Rather than
-\xintname's own \csbxint{iRem} we used a quicker |\numexpr| expression as we
-are dealing with short integers. Also we used \csbxint{ANDof} which will
-return $1$ only if all the items are non-zero. The macro is a bit
-silly with an even input, ok, let's enhance it to detect an even input:
-\everb|@

-            }%
-        }
-        {\xintifEq {#1}{2}{1}{0}}%

-Our integers are short, but without |\expandafter|'s with
-|\@firstoftwo|, % @ n'est plus actif dans le dtx 1.1 !
-or some other related techniques,
-direct use of |\ifnum..\fi| tests is dangerous. So to make the macro more
-efficient we are going to use the expandable tests provided by the package

-    {\ifnumequal {#1}{2}{1}{0}}}
-|
-
-In the odd case however we have to assume the integer is at least $7$, as
-|\xintSeq| generates an empty list if |#1=3| or |5|, and |\xintANDof| returns
-$1$ when supplied an empty list. Let us ease up a bit |\xintANDof|'s work by

-where the |\expandafter|'s are crucial for this macro to be \fexpan dable and
-hence work within the applied \csbxint{ANDof}. Anyhow, now that we have loaded

-The input is still assumed positive. There is a deliberate blank before
-\csa{IsNotDivisibleBy} to use this feature of \csbxint{Apply}: a space stops the

-\csbxint{ANDof}, which has been designed to skip everything as soon as it finds
-a false (i.e. zero) input. This way, the efficiency is considerably improved.
-
-We did generate via the \csbxint{Seq} too many potential divisors though. Later
-sections give two variants: one with \csbxint{iloop} (\autoref{ssec:primesII})
-which is still expandable and another one (\autoref{ssec:primesIII}) which is a
-close variant of the |\IsPrime| code above but with the \csbxint{For} loop, thus
-breaking expandability. The \hyperref[ssec:primesII]{xintiloop variant} does not
-first evaluate the integer square root, the \hyperref[ssec:primesIII]{xintFor
-  variant} still does. I did not compare their efficiencies.

-  expand fully when prefixed by |\romannumeral-`0|: the computation is fully
-  executed and its result encapsulated in a private format.
-
-  Using |\xintthe| as prefix is necessary to print the result (this is like
-  |\the| for |\numexpr|), but it is not necessary to get the computation done
-  (contrarily to the situation with |\numexpr|).
-
-  And, starting with release |1.09j|, it is also allowed to expand a non
-  |\xintthe| prefixed |\xintexpr|-ession inside an |\edef|: the private format
-  is now protected, hence the error message complaining about a missing
-  |\xintthe| will not be executed, and the integrity of the format will be
-  preserved.
-
-  This new possibility brings some efficiency gain, when one writes
-  non-expandable algorithms using \xintexprname. If |\xintthe| is
-  employed inside |\edef| the number or fraction will be un-locked into
-  its possibly hundreds of digits and all these tokens will possibly
-  weigh on the upcoming shuffling of (braced) tokens. The private

-Deliberately and for optimization, this |\FibonacciSeq| macro is
-completely expandable but not \fexpan dable. It would be easy to modify
-it to be so. But I wanted to check that the \csbxint{For*} does apply
-full expansion to what comes next each time it fetches an item from its
-list argument. Thus, there is no need to generate lists of braced
-Fibonacci numbers beforehand, as \csbxint{For*}, without using any
-|\edef|, still manages to generate the list via iterated full expansion.
-
-I initially used only one |\halign| in a three-column |multicols|
-environment, but |multicols| only knows to divide the page horizontally
-evenly, thus I employed in the end one |\halign| for each column (I
-could have then used a |tabular| as no column break was then needed).

-\subsection{The Quick Sort algorithm illustrated}\label{ssec:quicksort}
 
-First a completely expandable macro which sorts a comma separated list of
-numbers.%
-%
-\footnote{The code in earlier versions of this manual handled inputs composed
-  of braced items. I have switched to comma separated inputs on the occasion
-  of \url{http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/273084}. The version here is like
-  |code 3| on \url{http://tex.stackexchange.com} (which is about |3x| faster
-  than the earlier code it replaced in this manual) with a modification to
-  make it more efficient if the data has many repeated values.
-
-  A faster routine (for sorting hundreds of values) is provided as |code 6| at
-  the link mentioned in the footnote, it is based on Merge Sort, but limited
-  to inputs which one can handle as \TeX{} dimensions.%
-
-  This |code 6| could be extended to handle more general numbers, as
-  acceptable by \xintfracname. I have also written a non expandable version,
-  which is even faster, but this matters really only when handling hundreds or
-  rather thousands of values.}
-%
-
-The |\QSx| macro expands its list argument, which may thus be a macro; its
-comma separated items must expand to integers or decimal numbers or fractions
-or scientific notation as acceptable to \xintfracname, but if an item is
-itself some (expandable) macro, this macro will be expanded each time the item
-is considered in a comparison test! This is actually good if the macro expands
-in one step to the digits, and there are many many digits, but bad if the macro
-needs to do many computations. Thus |\QSx| should be used with either explicit
-numbers or with items being macros expanding in one step to the numbers
-(particularly if these numbers are very big).
-
-If the interest is only in \TeX{} integers, then one should replace the
-|\xintifCmp| macro with a suitable conditional, possibly helped by tools such as
-|\ifnumgreater|, |\ifnumequal| and |\ifnumless| from
-\href{http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox}{etoolbox} (\LaTeX{} only; I didn't see a
-direct equivalent to |\xintifCmp|.) Or, if we are dealing with decimal numbers
-with at most four+four digits, then one should use suitable |\ifdim| tests.
-Naturally this will boost consequently the speed, from having skipped all the
-overhead in parsing fractions and scientific numbers as are acceptable by
-\xintfracname macros, and subsequent treatment.

+\begin{framed}
+  The argument |x| must be non-negative, the behavior is currently undefined
+  when |x<0| and will provoke errors.
+\end{framed}
+
+Except when the input is (or evaluates to) exactly zero, the output contains
+exactly |x| digits after the decimal mark, thus the output may be
+\dtt{0.00...0} or \dtt{-0.00...0}, indicating that the original fraction was
+positive, respectively negative.
+
+\begin{framed}
+  \textbf{Warning:} \emph{it is not yet decided is this behavior is
+    definitive.}
+
+  Currently \xintfracname has no notion of a positive zero or a negative zero.
+  Hence transitivity of \csbxint{Trunc} is broken for the case where the first
+  truncation gives on output \dtt{0.00...0} or \dtt{-0.00...0}: a second
+  truncation to less digits will then output \dtt{0}, whereas if it had been
+  applied directly to the initial input it would have produced \dtt{0.00...0}
+  or respectively \dtt{-0.00...0} (with less zeros).
+
+  If \xintfracname distinguished zero, positive zero, and
+  negative zero it would be possible to maintain transitivity.
+
+  The problem would also be fixed, even without distinguishing a negative zero
+  on input, if \csbxint{Trunc} always produced \dtt{0.00...0} (with no sign)

-\csa{xintXTrunc}|{x}{f}|\retype{\numx\Ff} is completely expandable but not
-\fexpan dable, as is indicated by the hollow star in the margin. It can not be
-used as argument to the other package macros, but is designed to be used inside
-an |\edef|, or rather a |\write|. Here is an example session where the user
-after some warming up checks that $1/66049=1/257^2$ has period $257*256=65792$
-(it is also checked here that this is indeed the smallest period).
+\csa{xintXTrunc}|{x}{f}|\retype{\numx\Ff} is similar to \csbxint{Trunc} with
+the following important differences:
+\begin{itemize}[nosep]
+\item it is completely expandable but not
+\fexpan dable, as is indicated by the hollow star in the margin,
+\item hence it can not be used as argument to the other package macros, but as
+  it \fexpan ds its |{f}| argument, it accepts arguments expressed with other
+  \xintfracname macros,
+\item it requires |x>0|,
+\item contrarily to \csbxint{Trunc} the number of digits on output is not
+  limited to about \dtt{19950} and may go well beyond \dtt{100000} (this is
+  mainly useful for outputting a decimal expansion to a file),
+\item when the mathematical result is zero, it always prints it as
+  \dtt{0.00...0} or \dtt{-0.00...0} with |x| zeros after the decimal mark.
+\end{itemize}
 
-\begin{framed}
-  To use \csa{xintXTrunc} the user must load \xinttoolsname, additionally to
-  \xintfracname. The interactive session below does not show this because it
-  was done at a time when \xintname (hence also \xintfracname) automatically
-  loaded \xinttoolsname. This is not the case anymore. \csa{xintXTrunc} is the
-  sole dependency of \xintfracname on \xinttoolsname.
-\end{framed}
-%
+\textbf{Warning:} 
+transitivity is broken too (see discussion of \csbxint{Trunc}), due to the
+sign in the last item. Hence \emph{the definitive policy is yet to be fixed.}
+
+Transitivity is here in the sense of using a first |\edef| and then a second
+one, because it is not possible to nest \csb{xintXTrunc} directly as argument
+to itself. Besides, although the number of digits on output isn't limited,
+nevertheless |x| should be less than about |19970| when the number of digits
+of the input (assuming it is expressed as a decimal number) is even bigger:
+|\xintXTrunc{30000}{\Z}| after |\edef\Z{\xintXTrunc{60000}{1/66049}| raises an
+error in contrast with a direct |\xintXTrunc{30000}{1/66049}|. But
+|\xintXTrunc{30000}{123.456789}| works, because here the number of digits
+originally present is smaller than what is asked for, thus the routine only
+has to add trailing zeros, and this has no limitation (apart from \TeX\ main
+memory).
+
+
+\csbxint{XTrunc} will expand fully in an |\edef| or a |\write| (|\message|,
+|\wlog|, \dots) or in an \csbxint{expr}-ession, or as list argument to
+\csbxint{For*}.
+
+
+Here is an example session where the
+user checks that the decimal expansion of $1/66049=1/257^2$ has the maximal
+period length $257*256=65792$ (this period length must be a divisor of
+$\phi(66049)$ and to check it is the maximal one it is enough to show that
+neither $32896$ nor $256$ are periods.)

+Mathematical exercise: can you explain why the two indeed add to |9999...9999|?
 
+You can try your hands at this simpler one:

+1/49=\xintTrunc{42+5}{1/49}...\newline
+\xintTrim{2}{\xintTrunc{21}{1/49}}\newline
+\xintKeep{-21}{\xintTrunc{42}{1/49}}
+\end{everbatim*}
+
+This was again an example of the type |1/N| with |N| the square of a prime.
+One can also find counter-examples within this class: |1/31^2| and |1/37^2|
+have an odd period length (|465| and respectively |111|) hence they can not
+exhibit the symmetry.
+
 \begin{framed}
-  The |\xintiiMul {\ZA}{66049}| above can sadly \emph{not} be executed with
-  \xintname 1.2, due to the new limitation to at most about $19950$ digits for
-  multiplication. On the other hand |\edef\W {\xintXTrunc {131584}{1/66049}}|
-  produces the $131584$ digits four times faster. The macro \csbxint{XTrunc}
-  has not yet been adapted to the new integer model underlying the 1.2
-  \xintcorename macros, and perhaps some future improvements are possible. So
-  far it only benefits from a faster division routine, in that specific case
-  for a divisor having more than four but less than nine digits.
+  Mathematical challenge: prove generally that if the period length of the
+  decimal expansion of |1/p^r| (with |p| a prime distinct from |2| and |5| and
+  |r| a positive exponent) is even, then the above symmetry applies.
 \end{framed}
 
-Fraction arguments to |\xintXTrunc| corresponding to a |A/B[N]| with a negative
-|N| are treated somewhat less efficiently (additional memory impact) than for positive or zero |N|. This is because the algorithm tries to work with the
-smallest denominator hence does not extend |B| with zeroes, and technical
-reasons lead to the use of some tricks.%
-%
-\footnote{Technical note: I do not provide an |\xintXFloat|
-  because this would almost certainly mean having to clone the entire
-  core division routines into a ``long division'' variant. But this
-  could have given another approach to the implementation of
-  |\xintXTrunc|, especially for the case of a negative |N|. Doing these
-  things with \TeX{} is an effort. Besides an |\xintXFloat|
-  would be interesting only if also for example the square root routine
-  was provided in an |X| version (I have not given thought to that). If
-  feasible |X| routines would be interesting in the |\xintexpr|
-  context where things are expanded inside |\csname..\endcsname|.}
 
-Contrarily to \csbxint{Trunc}, in the case of the second argument revealing
-itself to be exactly zero, \csbxint{XTrunc} will output $0.000...$, not $0$.
-Also, the first argument must be at least $1$.
+Releases earlier than |1.2i| created a dependency of \xintfracname on
+\xinttoolsname only for this macro, this dependency does not exist anymore.

+%   as |\xintTrunc|, |\xintRound|), because they usually had since |1.2| their
+%   own limitation at about \dtt{19970} digits from other code parts (such as
+%   division.) The macro |\xintXTrunc| (which is not f-expandable however) can
+%   produce tens of thousands of digits and it escapes these limitations. Old
+%   macros such as |\xintLength| are not limited either (incidentally it got a
+%   lifting in |1.2i|.) The macros from \xinttoolsnameimp (|\xintKeep|,
+%   |\xintTrim|, |\xintNthElt|) also are not limited (but slower.)
+%
 % \item Release |1.2| of |2015/10/10| has entirely rewritten the core
 %   arithmetic routines in \xintcorenameimp. Many macros benefit indirectly
 %   from the faster core routines. The new model is yet to be extended to
 %   other portions of the code: for example the routines of \xintbinhexnameimp
 %   could be made faster for very big inputs if they adopted some techniques
-%   from the implementation of the basic arithmetic routines.
+%   from the implementation of the basic arithmetic routines. The parser of
+%   \xintexprnameimp is faster and does not have a limit at |5000| digits per
+%   number anymore.
 %
-%   The parser of \xintexprnameimp is also faster at gathering digits and does
-%   not have a limit at |5000| digits per number anymore.
-%
 % \item Extensive changes in release |1.1| of |2014/10/28| were located in
 %   \xintexprnameimp. Also with that release, packages \xintkernelnameimp and
 %   \xintcorenameimp were extracted from \xinttoolsnameimp and \xintnameimp,
 %   and |\xintAdd| was modified to not multiply denominators blindly.
 %
-%   \xinttoolsnameimp is not loaded anymore by \xintnameimp, nor by
-%   \xintfracnameimp. It is loaded by \xintexprnameimp.
 % \end{itemize}
 %
-% Large portions of the code date back to the initial release, and at that
-% time I was learning my trade in expandable TeX macro programming. At some
-% point in the future, I will have to re-examine the older parts of the code.

+% as found in |\XINT_setcatcodes|. Additional temporary configuration is used

 % First included in release 1.09m.
 %
-% \xintKeep {i}{stuff f-expanding to {a}{b}...{z}} (or `tokens' abcd...z, but
-% each naked token ends up braced in the output, if 0<i<length of token list)
-% returns (in two expansion steps) the first i items from the list, which
-% is first f-expanded. The i is expanded inside \numexpr. The variant
-% \xintKeepNoExpand does not expand the list argument.
+% \xintKeep{i}{L} f-expands its second argument L. It then grabs the first i
+% items from L and discards the rest. 
 %
-% With 0<i<length, each item ends up *braced* in the output.
+% ATTENTION: **each such kept item is returned inside a brace pair**
+% Use \xintKeepUnbraced to avoid that.
 %
-% With i = 0, the empty sequence is returned.
+% For i equal or larger to the number N of items in (expanded) L, the full L
+% is returned (with braced items). For i=0, the macro returns an empty output.
+% For i<0, the macro discards the first N-|i| items. No brace pairs added to
+% the remaining items. For i is less or equal to -N, the full L is returned
+% (with no braces added.)
 %
-% With |i| equal to or bigger than the length of the (f-expanded) list,
-% the full list is returned, with no braces added to items.
+% \xintKeepNoExpand does not expand the L argument.
 %
-% With -length<i<0, the last |i| items are returned (in the same order as in
-% the original list) AND BRACES ARE NOT ADDED IF NOT ORIGINALLY PRESENT.
 %
-% 1.2a belatedly corrects the description of what this macro does for i<0 !
 %
-% I have this nagging feeling I should read this code which might be much
-% improvable upon, but I just don't have time now (2015/10/19).
-%
-% Some cosmetic code improvements for 1.2g, to minimize token handling. And
-% the ending (_finish) which was temporary has finally been redone, fleeting
-% thoughts of alternative keep escaping me and I was a bit reluctant to the
-% method followed in the end, but still probably better than the older one.
-% ?
+% Prior to 1.2i the code proceeded along a loop with no pre-computation of
+% the length of L, for the i>0 case. The faster 1.2i version takes advantage
+% of novel \xintLengthUpTo from xintkernel.sty.

-% Variant \xintTrimNoExpand does not expand the list argument.
+% \xintTrim{i}{L} f-expands its second argument L. It then removes the first i

+% original (expanded) L is returned. For i<0, the macro proceeds from the
+% tail. It thus removes the last |i| items, i.e. it keeps the first N-|i|
+% items. For |i|>= N, the empty list is returned.
 %
-% With i = 0, the original (expanded) list is returned.
+% \xintTrimNoExpand does not expand the L argument.
 %
-% With i<0, the last |i| items are suppressed. In that case the kept elements

+% 1.2i release notes: ever since its inception this macro was stupid for a
+% decimal input: it did not handle it separately from the general fraction
+% case A/B[N] with B>1, hence ended up doing divisions by powers of ten. But
+% this meant that nesting \xintTrunc with itself was very inefficient.
+%
+% 1.2i version is better. However it still handles B>1, N<0 via adding zeros
+% to B and dividing with this extended B. A possibly more efficient approach
+% is implemented in \xintXTrunc, but its logic is more complicated, the code
+% is quite longer and making it f-expandable would not shorten it... I decided
+% for the time being to not complicate things here.

-% \lverb at 1.09j [2014/01/06] This is completely expandable but not f-expandable.
-% Designed be used inside an \edef or a \write, if one is interested in getting
-% tens of thousands of digits from the decimal expansion of some fraction... it
-% is not worth using it rather than \xintTrunc if for less than *hundreds* of
-% digits. For efficiency it clones part of the preparatory division macros, as
-% the same denominator will be used again and again. The D parameter which says
-% how many digits to keep after decimal mark must be at least 1 (and it is
-% forcefully set to such a value if found negative or zero, to avoid an eternal
-% loop).
-%
-% For reasons of efficiency I try to use the shortest possible denominator, so
-% if the fraction is A/B[N], I want to use B. For N at least zero, just
-% immediately replace A by A.10^N. The first division then may be a little
-% longish but the next ones will be fast (if B is not too big). For N<0, this is
-% a bit more complicated. I thought somewhat about this, and I would need a
-% rather complicated approach going through a long division algorithm, forcing
-% me to essentially clone the actual division with some differences; a side
-% thing is that as this would use blocks of four digits I would have a hard time
-% allowing a non-multiple of four number of post decimal mark digits.
-%
-% Thus, for N<0, another method is followed. First the euclidean division
-% A/B=Q+R/B is done. The number of digits of Q is M. If |N|\leq D, we launch
-% inside a \csname the routine for obtaining D-|N| next digits (this may impact
-% TeX's memory if D is very big), call them T. We then need to position the
-% decimal mark D slots from the right of QT, which has length M+D-|N|, hence |N|
-% slots from the right of Q. We thus avoid having to work will the T, as D may
-% be very very big (\xintXTrunc's only goal is to make it possible to learn by
-% hearts decimal expansions with thousands of digits). We can use the
-% \xintDecSplit for that on Q . Computing the length M of Q was a more or less
-% unavoidable step. If |N|>D, the \csname step is skipped we need to remove the
-% D-|N| last digits from Q, etc.. we compare D-|N| with the length M of Q etc...
-% (well in this last, very uncommon, branch, I stopped trying to optimize things
-% and I even do an \xintnum to ensure a 0 if something comes out empty from
-% \xintDecSplit).
-%
-% [2015/10/04] Although the explanations above are extremely clear, there are
-% just too complicated for me to be now able to understand them fully. I
-% miraculously managed to do the minimal changes (all happens between
-% \XINT_xtrunc_Q and \XINT_xtrunc_Pa) in order for \xintXTrunc to use the 1.2
-% division routine. Seems to work. But some thought should be given to how to
-% adapt \xintXTrunc for it to better use the abilities and characteristics of
-% the new division routines in xincore.@
