EDIT HISTORY
v1.0  2019/08/21
      - Initial release

v1.1  2019/09/27
      - Introduced \ifactivechar, \ifactivetokunexpandable
      - Tightened up consistent definition of implicit (to exclude primitives)
      - Rewrote active token trapping logic, to differentiate between active 
        token vs. active character code, in the event that an earlier tokenized 
        token no longer shares the current characteristics of the character code
      - Added ability to handle active-implicit grouping tokens
      - Added ability to handle active-implicit cat-6 tokens

v1.11 2020/02/04
      - Fixed bug in \can@absorb@@ macro, which prevented the proper absorption/
        handling of the = token.

v1.12 2020/02/11
      - Documentation correction: \tokcycleenvironment, not \tokencycleenvironment
      - Documentation correction: misspelling in tokcycle-examples.tex
      - Redefined \tc@defx and \tc@earg to omit #2 as part of definition
      - Corrected \trapcatSIXb definition to account for revised \tc@earg definition.

v1.2  2020/10/01
      - Added/fixed capability to handle active-implicit spaces. While the
        #1 passed to the \Spacedirective, in such a case, is an implicit 
        space \tc@sptoken, the name of the active character from whence it
        originated in the input stream is stored as an explicit cat-12 token 
        in the definition \theactivespace.  The flags \implicittok and \activetok
        are both set true, and the \activechar flag is checked, as well.

v1.3  2021/03/10
      - Introduced \xtokcycleenvironment, similar to \tokcycleenvironment, but
        allows two additional arguments, defining the setup and trailing code
        that will be run prior to the invocation and following conclusion of the 
        token cycle.
      - Introduced \truncategroup, a directive to discard remaining tokens in the
        current token-cycle group and close the group.
      - Introduced \truncatecycle, a directive to discard remaining tokens in the
        token-cycle input stream, but closing any open groups.
      - Introduced \truncategroupiftokis{}{} to conditionally issue a \truncategroup
        if the current token under consideration matches the 1st argument.
      - Introduced \truncatecycleiftokis{}{} to conditionally issue a \truncatecycle
        if the current token under consideration matches the 1st argument.
      - Introduced \tcendgroup as a form of \endgroup that saves contents of
        \cytoks upon group exit.  Gives clarity to definitions of \tokencycle
        and \tokencyclexpress environments.  Available for general used.
      - Fixed bug.  Made \@@grpT \long, in the event that \par occurs inside a 
        group.
      - Fixed bug.  Added \relax to end of \add@tcdepth definition, the absence
        of which had prevented timely update of the \tcdepth count.
      - Documentation correction: improved explanation of implicit-cat-6 token
        limitations.  Likewise, added warning regarding active-implicit spaces.
      - Documentation prepared with lmodern font, rather than default cm,
        for reasons of better PDF hinting.
      - Introduced \exit@grouped to the \groupedcytoks definition, for clarity and
        ease of \expandafter.
      - Reworked logic so that \tcdepth is associated with nested calls to the 
        Group directive, rather than with each invocation of \processtoks.
        This primarily required redefinition of \@@grpT and its components.
      - Changed name of \tc@depth to \tcdepth, as it may be a useful parameter for
        users to check the token-cycle nesting depth.  Therefore, also renamed 
        \subtc@depth to \sub@tcdepth, \addtc@depth to \add@tcdepth.
      - Excised \sub@tcdepth from \endtokcycraw as part of new logic making
        \tcdepth associated with the Group directive (also, outer token cycle 
        operates with depth = 0 rather than 1).
      - Renamed \@defgroupedcytoks to \defineexit@grouped, to better match function.

v1.4  2021/05/26
      - Concerning the \@@@@spcT macro: previously, active-implicit spaces 
        were passed to the Spacedirective as \tc@sptoken, with the \string of the 
        active char passed in \theactivespace. Now, the active-implicit space token 
        itself is passed to the Spacedirective instead of \tc@sptoken, but only *IF* 
        the charcode of that character is currently active; otherwise, a generic 
        implicit space, \tcsptoken is passed.
      - Introduced a set of "look ahead" macros: \tcpeek, \tcpop, \tcpopliteral,
        \tcpopappto, \tcpopliteralappto, \tcappto#1from#2, \tcpopuntil, 
        \tcpopwhitespace, \tcpush, and \tcpushgroup.
      - Bug fixed in \tc@addtoks definition, in the event that #2 was a number.

v1.41 2021/06/25
      - Bug fix in \tcpopliteralappto (\@tmp interfered with itself). Altered,
        substituting \@@tmp.

v1.42 2021/08/25
      - Bug fix in \tc@escapecytoks (if escaped text was a single brace group, the
        braces were lost)

v1.5  2025/04/02
      -Macro \can@absorb@ adjusted to enable not just characters, but also macros
       as the tokcycle escape token.
      -Made several definitions \long to accommodate multi-paragraph escapes:
       \tc@escapecytoks, \tc@trapescape.
      -Fixed several bugs in the code which traps active, implicit, and
       active-unexpandable tokens: \trapactivetok, \trapactivetokunexpandable
