Hello,

A "philosophy" question.  For storing values that will be used "as is",
normally one would do \def\storesomething{Something}.  In the LaTeX3
model, I can choose either

\def:NNn \store_something: 0 {Something}

or

\tlp_new:N \l_store_something_tlp
\tlp_set:Nn \l_store_something_tlp {Something}

and get the same result, function-wise.  Is the later closer to the
model proposed, or should I stick with the former?
