Well having seen xparse I'm quite excited. I hope this won't remain as Latex2e* for too long, and that Latex 3 is nigh! How will all this fit into the programming environment of Latex3? Will xparse and friends be rewritten with \type_name:args. In fact what is the status of this aspect of Latex3? One feature which I think would be nice is a \newargumenttype macro, analogous to \newcolumntype of the array package. I wait with anticipation the template packages &c. James
