CTAN update: eoldef
Commands defined with \eoldef may be used in the usual way or by feeding it the whole line contents in a single braced group. This update adds a way around the latter syntax for when the line contents happens to start with a braced group, by inserting a space after the command. eg. \command{abc} vs \command {abc}.

eoldef – Define commands which absorb the whole source line as arguments
This macro allows you to define commands that take the entire 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.
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}.
