% \section{Introduction}
%
%    The \pkg{pcatcode} package provides mechanisms for robustly
%    changing the catcode environment for the duration of a package and
%    restoring it afterwards to whatever it was before the package was
%    loaded.
%
%    Motivation: The \pkg{amsmath} package (for example), makes a number
%    of assignments using characters such as double-quote and
%    left-quote, because these are hard-wired into the \tex/ syntax for
%    numbers and other things. If a package that makes double-quote an
%    active character is loaded before \pkg{amsmath}, all the
%    statements that use double-quote turn into error messages.
%
%    But now! Groan and grumble no more, ye package writers, for putting
%    a magical invocation of the pcatcode package at the beginning of
%    your package file, as shown here, will ensure that your
%    package contents will be processed with completely normal catcodes.

%\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}[1995/12/01]

%}{}
%\ProvidesPackage{foo}[2002/04/16 v1.04]
%\end{verbatim}
%
%    It must be followed by a matching \cs{PopCatcodes} command,
%    typically used in conjunction with \cs{endinput}.
%
%    WARNING: This functionality would work best if it were built into
%    the \LaTeX{}2e kernel, but it cannot be usefully added to the
%    kernel now without adversely affecting document compatibility
%    across different systems. This package therefore modifies one or
%    two of the low-level package-loading functions defined by the
%    kernel. This means that there may be trouble if any other package,
%    or some future version of \LaTeX{}, changes the definitions of
%    those functions.
%
%    NOTE: Packages that do not call \cs{PushCatcodes}
%    \cs{NormalCatcodes} will remain transparent to the external catcode
%    environment in the usual way (i.e., for all characters except the
%    \verb'@' character).

%
% \section{Implementation}
% \subsection{Preliminary Remarks}
%
%    At the document level, we assume that the following characters
%    always have their standard catcode:
% \begin{center}
% \begin{tabular}{lp{.75\columnwidth}}
% \verb'\{}' &amp; for commands and arguments\\
% \verb'%' &amp; for comments\\
% \verb'#' &amp; for use with \cn{newcommand}\\
% \verb'*' &amp; cannot be changed without breaking star-form commands\\
% \verb'[]' &amp; cannot be changed without breaking optional arguments\\
% \verb'~' &amp; already active, no reason to change catcode
% \end{tabular}
% \end{center}
%
%    One might think that we could assume hyphen, period (and comma, for
%    European decimal notation) are always catcode 12. Experience has
%    shown, however, that for just about every character there is some
%    plausible application that would be facilitated by making that
%    character active and giving it a complex definition. Surely hyphen
%    and period must stay catcode 12 in order to work in statements like
%    the following?
%\begin{verbatim}
%\addtocounter{section}{-1}
%\addtolength{\columnwidth}{-1.5cm}
%\end{verbatim}
%    Yet hyphen and period are important constituents of ordinary text
%    and therefore special applications arise. For example,
%    what if you would like
%    mdashes to be surrounded by extra space but your authors prefer to
%    continue writing \verb'---' in the accustomed manner?
%
%    Theoretically speaking, the \pkg{pcatcode} package itself has to
%    guard against the kind of catcode problems that it is intended to
%    circumvent. If you would like a nice little \tex/nician's
%    exercise, try your hand, before looking at the code below, at the
%    task that I set for myself: Find the minimal set of catcode
%    assumptions that one has to make before attempting to establish
%    normalcy, where normalcy is defined as the state at the end of
%    \fn{latex.ltx}, just before the last \cs{makeatother}. This is the
%    state that may normally be expected at the beginning of a
%    documentclass file, if the \LaTeX{} format file does not have any
%    extensions (e.g., babel) compiled in.
%
%    Ready to look, now?
%
%    In order for the following code to work it is only necessary that
%    backslash, letters, and digits have their normal catcodes: 0, 11,
%    12 respectively. One could argue that if \fn{pcatcode.sty} is
%    invoked through a standard \cs{RequirePackage} call, it can be
%    assumed that curly braces also have their normal catcodes. But I
%    suppose it is not utterly inconceivable that in some special
%    circumstances one might want to load the package with the
%    \cs{@@input} primitive, sans braces. And in any case the extra
%    overhead to handle braces as well is trivial so for esthetic
%    reasons I'm gonna put it in.
%
%    If you look really hard you'll find one or two other assumptions,
%    such as ``endlinechar is not a letter''. Wait, come to think of it,
%    I can fix that \ldots
%
%    The purpose of the group is chiefly to localize the temporarily
%    changed definitions of \cs{e}, \cs{n}, etc.

%    For code that does futureletting to see if a punctuation character
%    follows, it is distressing to handle the case when some characters
%    might be made active (e.g., by the babel package).
%
%    The \cs{FutureLetSetup} function attempts to minimize the
%    difficulties by defining canonical control sequences to represent
%    all the visible ASCII characters (i.e., ranging from space to
%    \qc{\~}, 32--126, plus TAB) whose catcode could be changed without
%    transgressing the limits of standard \LaTeX{} syntax.
