    Let's turn now to some procedures that \TEX\ calls upon frequently to digest certain kinds of
    patterns in the input. Most of these are quite simple; some are quite elaborate. Almost all of
    the routines call |get_x_token|, which can cause them to be invoked recursively.

    The |scan_left_brace| routine is called when a left brace is supposed to be the next non-blank
    token. (The term \quote {left brace} means, more precisely, a character whose catcode is
    |left_brace|.) \TEX\ allows |\relax| to appear before the |left_brace|.

    The next routine |scan_something_internal| is used to fetch internal numeric quantities like
    |\hsize|, and also to handle the |\the| when expanding constructions like |\the\toks0| and
    |\the\baselineskip|. Soon we will be considering the |scan_int| procedure, which calls
    |scan_something_internal|; on the other hand, |scan_something_internal| also calls |scan_int|,
    for constructions like |\catcode\`\$| or |\fontdimen 3 \ff|. So we have to declare |scan_int|
    as a |forward| procedure. A few other procedures are also declared at this point.

    \TEX\ doesn't know exactly what to expect when |scan_something_internal| begins. For example,
    an integer or dimension or glue value could occur immediately after |\hskip|; and one can even
    say |\the} with respect to token lists in constructions like |\xdef\o{\the\output}|. On the
    other hand, only integers are allowed after a construction like |\count|. To handle the various
    possibilities, |scan_something_internal| has a |level| parameter, which tells the \quote
    {highest} kind of quantity that |scan_something_internal| is allowed to produce. Seven levels
    are  distinguished, namely |int_val|, |attr_val|, |dimen_val|, |glue_val|, |mu_val|, |tok_val|
    and |ident_val|.

    The output of |scan_something_internal| (and of the other routines |scan_int|, |scan_dimension|,
    and |scan_glue| below) is put into the global variable |cur_val|, and its level is put into
    |cur_val_level|. The highest values of |cur_val_level| are special: |mu_val| is used only when
    |cur_val| points to something in a \quote {muskip} register, or to one of the three parameters
    |\thinmuskip|, |\medmuskip|, |\thickmuskip|; |ident_val| is used only when |cur_val| points to
    a font identifier; |tok_val| is used only when |cur_val| points to |null| or to the reference
    count of a token list. The last two cases are allowed only when |scan_something_internal| is
    called with |level = tok_val|.

    If the output is glue, |cur_val| will point to a glue specification, and the reference count
    of that glue will have been updated to reflect this reference; if the output is a nonempty
    token list, |cur_val| will point to its reference count, but in this case the count will not
    have been updated. Otherwise |cur_val| will contain the integer or scaled value in question.

    When a |glue_val| changes to a |dimen_val|, we use the width component of the glue; there is no
    need to decrease the reference count, since it has not yet been increased. When a |dimen_val|
    changes to an |int_val|, we use scaled points so that the value doesn't actually change. And
    when a |mu_val| changes to a |glue_val|, the value doesn't change either.

    It is nice to have routines that say what they do, so the original |scan_eight_bit_int| is

    Many of the |restricted classes| routines are the essentially the same except for the upper

/*tex

    An integer number can be preceded by any number of spaces and |+| or |-| signs. Then comes
    either a decimal constant (i.e., radix 10), an octal constant (i.e., radix 8, preceded by~|'|),
    a hexadecimal constant (radix 16, preceded by~|"|), an alphabetic constant (preceded by~|`|),
    or an internal variable. After scanning is complete, |cur_val| will contain the answer, which
    must be at most $2^{31}-1=2147483647$ in absolute value. The value of |radix| is set to 10, 8,
    or 16 in the cases of decimal, octal, or hexadecimal constants, otherwise |radix| is set to
    zero. An optional space follows a constant.

    The |scan_int| routine is used also to scan the integer part of a fraction; for example, the
    |3| in |3.14159| will be found by |scan_int|. The |scan_dimension| routine assumes that |cur_tok
    = point_token| after the integer part of such a fraction has been scanned by |scan_int|, and
    that the decimal point has been backed up to be scanned again.

*/

/*tex

    The next function is somewhat special. It is also called in other scanners and therefore
    |cur_val| cannot simply be replaced. For that reason we do return the value but also set
    |cur_val|, just in case. I might sort this out some day when other stuff has been reworked.

    The routine has been optimized a bit (equal scanning and such) and after a while I decided to
    split the three cases. It makes for a bit nicer code.

    If we backport the checking code to \LUATEX, a pre May 24 2020 copy has to be taken, because
    that is closer to the original.

    The |scan_dimension| routine is similar to |scan_int|, but it sets |cur_val| to a |scaled| value,
    i.e., an integral number of sp. One of its main tasks is therefore to interpret the
    abbreviations for various kinds of units and to convert measurements to scaled points.

    There are three parameters: |mu| is |true| if the finite units must be |mu|, while |mu| is
    |false| if |mu| units are disallowed; |inf| is |true| if the infinite units |fil|, |fill|,
    |filll| are permitted; and |shortcut| is |true| if |cur_val| already contains an integer and
    only the units need to be considered.

    The order of infinity that was found in the case of infinite glue is returned in the global
    variable |cur_order|.

    Constructions like |-'77 pt| are legal dimensions, so |scan_dimension| may begin with |scan_int|.
    This explains why it is convenient to use |scan_integer| also for the integer part of a decimal
    fraction.

    Several branches of |scan_dimension| work with |cur_val| as an integer and with an auxiliary
    fraction |f|, so that the actual quantity of interest is $|cur_val|+|f|/2^{16}$. At the end of
    the routine, this \quote {unpacked} representation is put into the single word |cur_val|, which
    suddenly switches significance from |integer| to |scaled|.

    The necessary conversion factors can all be specified exactly as fractions whose numerator and
    denominator add to 32768 or less. According to the definitions here, $\rm 2660 \, dd \approx
    1000.33297 \, mm$; this agrees well with the value $\rm 1000.333 \, mm$ cited by Hans Rudolf
    Bosshard in {\em Technische Grundlagen zur Satzherstellung} (Bern, 1980). The Didot point has
    been newly standardized in 1978; it's now exactly $\rm 1 \, nd = 0.375 \, mm$. Conversion uses
    the equation $0.375 = 21681 / 20320 / 72.27 \cdot 25.4$. The new Cicero follows the new Didot
    point; $\rm 1 \, nc = 12 \, nd$. These would lead to the ratios $21681 / 20320$ and $65043
    / 5080$, respectively. The closest approximations supported by the algorithm would be $11183 /
    10481$ and $1370 / 107$. In order to maintain the relation $\rm 1 \, nc = 12 \, nd$, we pick
    the ratio $685 / 642$ for $\rm nd$, however.

    We support the Knuthian Potrzebie cf.\ \url {https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potrzebie} as the
    |dk| unit. It was added on 2021-09-22 exactly when we crossed the season during an evening
    session at the 15th \CONTEXT\ meeting in Bassenge (Boirs) Belgium. It took a few iterations to
    find the best numerator and denominator, but Taco Hoekwater, Harald Koenig and Mikael Sundqvist
    figured it out in this interactive session. The error messages have been adapted accordingly and
    the scanner in the |tex| library also handles it. One |dk| is 6.43985pt. There is no need to
    make \METAPOST\ aware of this unit because there it is just a numeric multiplier in a macro
    package.

    From Wikipedia:

    In issue 33, Mad published a partial table of the \quotation {Potrzebie System of Weights and
    Measures}, developed by 19-year-old Donald~E. Knuth, later a famed computer scientist. According
    to Knuth, the basis of this new revolutionary system is the potrzebie, which equals the thickness
    of Mad issue 26, or 2.2633484517438173216473 mm [...].

    We also provide alternatives for the inch: the |es| and |ts|, two units dedicated to women
    (Edith and Tove) that come close to the inch but are more metric. Their values have been
    carefully callibrated at the 2023 BachoTeX meeting and a report will be published in the
    proceedings as well as TUGboat (medio 2023).

    An additional |eu| has been introduced as a multiplier for |ts| that defaults to 10 which makes
    one |eu| default to one |es|.

    The |true| addition has now officially been dropped.

    The final member of \TEX's value-scanning trio is |scan_glue|, which makes |cur_val| point to
    a glue specification. The reference count of that glue spec will take account of the fact that
    |cur_val| is pointing to~it. The |level| parameter should be either |glue_val| or |mu_val|.

    Since |scan_dimension| was so much more complex than |scan_integer|, we might expect |scan_glue|
    to be even worse. But fortunately, it is very simple, since most of the work has already been

    This started as an experiment. A font object is just a container for a combination of id and
    scales. It permits fast font switching (not that setting the font id and scales separately is
    that slow) and has the benefit of a more sparse logging. We use nodes and not some array
    because after all we always have symbolic names and we then get saving and restoring as well as
    memory management for free.

    When an spec is given we make a copy but can overload the scales after that. Otherwise we just
    create a new spec with default scales 1000. This fontspec object was introduced after we had
    experimental compact font support in \CONTEXT\ for over a year working well.

    |scan_toks|. This function returns a pointer to the tail of a new token list, and it also makes
    |def_ref| point to the reference count at the head of that list.

    There are two boolean parameters, |macro_def| and |xpand|. If |macro_def| is true, the goal is
    to create the token list for a macro definition; otherwise the goal is to create the token list
    for some other \TEX\ primitive: |\mark|, |\output|, |\everypar|, |\lowercase|, |\uppercase|,
    |\message|, |\errmessage|, |\write|, or |\special|. In the latter cases a left brace must be
    scanned next; this left brace will not be part of the token list, nor will the matching right
    brace that comes at the end. If |xpand| is false, the token list will simply be copied from the
    input using |get_token|. Otherwise all expandable tokens will be expanded until unexpandable
    tokens are left, except that the results of expanding |\the| are not expanded further. If both
    |macro_def| and |xpand| are true, the expansion applies only to the macro body (i.e., to the
    material following the first |left_brace| character).

    The value of |cur_cs| when |scan_toks| begins should be the |eqtb| address of the control
    sequence to display in runaway error messages.

    Watch out: there are two extensions to the macro definition parser: a |#0| will just gobble the
    argument and not copy it to the parameter stack, and |#+| will not remove braces around a
    \quote {single group} argument, something that comes in handy when you grab and pass over an
    argument.

    If the next character is a parameter number, make |cur_tok| a |match| token; but if it is a
    left brace, store |left_brace|, |end_match|, set |hash_brace|, and |goto done|.

    For practical reasons, we have split the |scan_toks| function up in four smaller dedicated
    functions. When we add features it makes no sense to clutter the code even more. Keep in mind
    that compared to the reference \TEX\ implementation we have to support |\expanded| token lists
    but also |\protected| and friends. There is of course some overlap now but that's a small
    price to pay for readability.

    The split functions need less redundant checking and the expandable variants got one loop
    instead of two nested loops.

/*tex

    Already early in \LUAMETATEX\ I wondered about adding support for boolean expressions but at
    that time (2019) I still wanted it as part of \type |\numexpr|. I added some code that actually
    worked okay, but kept it commented. After all, we don't need it that often and \CONTEXT\ has
    helpers for it so it's best to avoid the extra overhead in other expressions.

    However, occasionally, when I check the manual I came back to this. I wondered about some more
    that just extra bitwise operators. However, precedence makes it a bit tricky. Also, we can't use
    some characters because they can be letter, other, active or have special meaning in math or
    alignments. Then I played with verbose operators: mod (instead of a percent sign), and
    |and|, |or|, |band|, |bor| and |bxor| (cf the \LUA\ bit32 library).

    In the end I decided not to integrate it but make a dedicated |\bitexpr| instead. I played with
    some variants but the approach in the normal expression scanned is not really suitable for it.

    After the initial |\bitexpr| I eventually ended up with an integer and dimension scanner and
    it became more complex that originally intended, but the current implementation is flexible
    enough to extend. I can probably squeeze out some more performance.

    Beware: details can change, for instance handling some (math) \UNICODE\ characters has been
    dropped because it's an inconsistent bunch and incomplete anyway.

    In the end we have a set of dedicated scanners. We could use the existing ones but for instance
    units are optional here. We also have a bit more predictable sentinel, so we can optimize some
    push back. We don't handle mu units nor fillers. It was also kind of fun to explore that.

/* 
    We have the somewhat weird |\dimexpr| and friends from \ETEX, but now prefer to use the more 
    flexible |\dimexpression| instead. However that one still has only divide and multiply win 
    over plus and minus. The next scanner is bit more advanced. It used to be the one used for 
    |\dimexpression| etc.\ but now is just an extra one, currently bound to |\dimexperimental| 
    and |\numexperimental|. 

    I need to check cases where we can overflow and we might at some point delay clipping to the 
    maxima till we return. There might also be cases where operations on mixed number types give 
    unexpected results.

    In the end, after some variations, I decided that some reverse polish notation approach made
    more sense and when considering an infix to rpn translation and searching the web a bit I ran
    into nice example:

        https://github.com/chidiwilliams/expression-evaluator/blob/main/simple.js

    It shows how to handled the nested expressions. I made a comparable variant in \LUA, extended
    it for more than the usual four operators, condensed it a bit and then went on to write the code
    below. Of course we have a completely different token parser and we use \TEX\ (temp) nodes for
    a few stacks. I know that we can combine the loops but that becomes messy and performance is
    quite okay, also because we move items from one to another stack with little overhead. Although
    stacks are not that large, using static sized stacks (\CCODE\ arrays) makes no sense here.

    Unary minus was sort of a challenge as was the fact that we also need to handle multiple 
    (redundant) + and a possibly mixed + and - sequence. So in the end the code became a bit more
    complex than the example.
