you lost me here. Either you or I are stitting on top of a big
misunderstanding I think :-) please explain what you need \exp_arg:x for and
why the l3expan module doesn't help - that module is triple powerful to
whatever you had for expansion in 2e so ..
perhaps it is simply a misunderstanding how the l3expan module should/could
be applied --- or there is something we totally missed
