Hi all,

again, a question about xparse, still hoping this is the right list for
that.
I want to do something like

\NewDocumentCommand\mycommand{O{#2}m}{#1 and #2.}

which should give the same result for \mycommand[a]{a} and
\mycommand{a}, i.e. “#1 is equal to #2 if #1 is not given“. Is there a
simple way to do this to avoid an if-construct:

\IfNoValue{#1}{\def\temp{#2}}{\def\temp{#1}}

and then use \temp instead of #1? If not, would this be possible (and
wanted) to be implemented?

cheers
Arno
