%
% \maketitle
%
% \begin{abstract}
%
% The \textsf{namespc} package adds rudimentary \emph{c++}-like namespace
% functionality to \LaTeX. It may be used to declare local \LaTeX{} commands,
% which can be made accessible in a later contexts without defining them 
% globally.
%
% \end{abstract}
%
% \section{Introduction}
% This package can be used to declare local \LaTeX{} commands,
% which may be reused in a later context without polluting the global
% namespace, as an equivalent to \emph{c++}-like namespaces.
%
% \section{Usage}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\namespace}
% This command is used to instantiate and reuse a certain namespace. 
% The |\namespace| command has the following syntax:
%
% |\namespace{|\emph{spcname}|}{|\emph{before}|}{|\emph{body}|}|
%\\
% The first parameter corresponds to the name of the namespace 
% to be started or used.
% The \emph{before} arguments of the current call of |\namespace| are appended 
% to the preamble of namespace \emph{spcname}, which is processed
% before the text in \emph{body} gets processed.
%
% \DescribeEnv{\emph{spcname}}
% With the first call of
% |\namespace{|\emph{spcname}|}{|\ldots|}{|\emph{\ldots}|}| the
% corresponding environment \emph{spcname} is defined which processes 
% all \emph{before} arguments within its preamble.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\namespace*}
% Essentially the same as the |\namespace| command but without generation 
% of the corresponding environment.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\usingnamespace}
% By using |\usingnamespace{|\emph{spcname}|}| one can force \LaTeX{} to 
% process the namespace preamble of \emph{spcname}.
%
% \StopEventually{\PrintChanges\PrintIndex}
%
% \section{Implementation}
%
% We first make |@| to a character in order to use and define internal 
% commands:
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\makeatletter
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \begin{macro}{\@defnamespace@ifundef}
%
% First we define an internal macro which will be used to instatiate the 
% (internal) namespace preamble macro |\@namespace@|\emph{spcname} 
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\@defnamespace@ifundef#1{
  \@ifundefined{#1}{
    \long\expandafter\def\csname#1\endcsname{}
  }{}
}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\@n@mesp@cestar}
% Now we are able to define the internal version of the starred |\namespace|
% command.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\@n@mesp@cestar}[3]{
  \@defnamespace@ifundef{@namespace@#1}
  \expandafter\g@addto@macro\csname @namespace@#1\endcsname{#2}%
  {
    \expandafter\relax\csname @namespace@#1\endcsname
    #3
  }
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\usingnamespace}
% The user command |\usingnamespace| just forces initiatiation and processing 
% of the namespace preamble.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\usingnamespace}[1]{
  \@defnamespace@ifundef{@namespace@#1}
  \csname @namespace@#1\endcsname
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\@provide@namespace@env}
% This is an internal command which provides the corresponding environment.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\@provide@namespace@env#1{
  \@ifundefined{#1} {
   \newenvironment{#1}{\usingnamespace{#1}}{}  
  }{}
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\::}
% The double colon notation may be used to access commands defined within a
% namespace preamble once. Note that the command's arguments have to be
% surrounded by colons:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\::#1::#2:#3:{%
  {\csname @namespace@#1\endcsname
   \csname#2\endcsname#3}
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\@n@mesp@ce}
% Next we just add the definition of the respective environment to |\namespace*|
% in order to obtain the internal version of |\namespace|:
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\@n@mesp@ce}[3]{
  \@provide@namespace@env{#1}
  \@n@mesp@cestar{#1}{#2}{#3}
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\namespace}
% Finally we use the |\@ifstar| macro to define the user commands
% |\namespace| and |\namespace*|:
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*{\namespace}{\@ifstar\@n@mesp@cestar\@n@mesp@ce}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
% |@| is made special character again:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\makeatother
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \section{Example}
%
% This is example code for the use of the \textsf{namespc}~package:
%
%\begin{verbatim}
%\namespace{spcname}
%{\newcommand{\spcwidecmd}{\emph{command}\xspace}}{
% Using \spcwidecmd for the first time.
%} % end of namespace
%
% % not defined here: \spcwidecmd
%
%\namespace{spcname}{}{
%  \spcwidecmd may be used again later.
%} % end of namespace
%
%\begin{spcname}
%  We can also use \spcwidecmd within the corresponding environment\ldots
%\end{spcname}
%
%  Alternatively we may use the double colon notation: \::spcname::spcwidecmd::
%
%\usingnamespace{spcname}
%\ldots{} or globally: \spcwidecmd.
%
%\end{verbatim}
%
% And here's the corresponding \LaTeX{} output:
% \\
%\namespace{spcname}
%{\newcommand{\spcwidecmd}{\emph{command}\ }}{
%
% Using \spcwidecmd for the first time.
%} 
%
%
%\namespace{spcname}{}{
%  \spcwidecmd may be used again later.
%} 
%
%\begin{spcname}
%  We can also use \spcwidecmd within the corresponding environment\ldots
%\end{spcname}
%
%  Alternatively we may use the double colon notation: \::spcname::spcwidecmd::
%
%\usingnamespace{spcname}
%\ldots{} or globally: \spcwidecmd
%
% \Finale
% 
% \endinput
