Fair enough. I'm more than happy with the last version! :)

How would you feel about also adding Fitler/Groups versions of
\ProcessKeysOptions and \ProcessKeysPackageOptions to l3keys2e?

There's a typo in row 291 of l3keys.dtx (should be '\enquote' in place
of '\enquoe’).

Beyond that, I just want to thank you for all your patience and effort put in!

Best,
