%
% Flags are the only data-type on which \TeX{} can perform
% assignments in expansion-only contexts. This module is meant mostly
% for kernel use: in almost all cases, booleans or integers should be
% preferred to flags, because they are faster.
%
% A flag can hold any non-negative value, which we call its
% \meta{height}. In expansion-only contexts, a flag can only be
% \enquote{raised}: this normally increases the \meta{height} by $1$,
% but can be configured by defining specific traps. The \meta{height}
% can also be queried expandably. However, decreasing it, or setting it
% to zero requires non-expandable assignments.
%
% Flag variables are always local. They are referenced by a \meta{name}
% of the form \meta{package}\texttt{_}\meta{flag name}, for instance,
% \texttt{str_missing}.
%
% \section{Setting up flags}
%
% \begin{function}{\flag_new:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{flag_new:n} \Arg{flag name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Creates a new \meta{flag} with a name given by \meta{flag name}, or
%   raises an error if the name is already taken. The \meta{flag name}
%   must consist of character tokens only. The declaration is global,
%   but flags are always local variables. The \meta{flag} will initially
%   have zero height.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\flag_clear:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{flag_clear:n} \Arg{flag name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   The \meta{flag}'s height is set to zero. The assignment is local.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\flag_clear_new:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{flag_clear_new:n} \Arg{flag name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Ensures that the \meta{flag} exists globally by applying
%   \cs{flag_new:n} if necessary, then applies \cs{flag_zero:n}, setting
%   the height to zero locally.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\flag_set_trap:nn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{flag_set_trap:nn} \Arg{flag name} \Arg{inline function}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Changes the action that is taken when the \meta{flag} is raised
%   using \cs{flag_raise:n}. Instead of the default action which is to
%   increase the \meta{flag}'s height by $1$, the \meta{inline function}
%   will be called, receiving the current flag's height as |#1|. The
%   \meta{inline function} should expand to nothing; \emph{e.g.}, it
%   could call \cs{msg_expandable_error:n}. This function is very
%   experimental.
% \end{function}
%
% \section{Expandable flag commands}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP,pTF]{\flag_if_exist:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{flag_if_exist:n} \Arg{flag name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This function returns \texttt{true} if the \meta{flag name}
%   references a flag that has been defined previously, and
%   \texttt{false} otherwise.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP,pTF]{\flag_if_raised:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{flag_if_raised:n} \Arg{flag name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This function returns \texttt{true} if the \meta{flag} has non-zero
%   height, and \texttt{false} if the \meta{flag} has zero height.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\flag_height:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{flag_height:n} \Arg{flag name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Expands to the height of the \meta{flag} as an integer denotation.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\flag_raise:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{flag_raise:n} \Arg{flag name}
%   \end{syntax}
%   The \meta{flag}'s trap is performed, taking the current height as
%   its argument. The default behaviour is to increase the \meta{flag}'s
%   height by $1$ locally. This function is expandable, as long as the
%   trap is expandable (the default trap is expandable, despite being an
%   assignment).
% \end{function}
