      <pre>On Tue, 22 Sep 2009, Florent Chervet submitted version 3.0 of the 

  etextools

package.

The package offers four categories of macros:
 - the \expandnext macro and other expansion control macros;
 - the \FE at testopt and \FE at ifstar macros for fully expandable (FE)
   (starred-)macros with option;
 - fully expandable command list parsers: \csvloop, \listloop and a general 
   constructor;
 - three macros lacking from the etoolbox package: \listdel, \listgdel and 
   \listxdel.
