//! Texlang commands API
//!
//! # Texcraft commands API
//!
//! One of the most important parts of any TeX engine is the primitives that it provides.
//!  This documentation describes the *Texcraft commands API*,
//! which is the mechanism by which TeX engines add new primitives.
//!
//! A note on terminology: *commands* can be categorized into primitives,
//! which are implemented in the TeX engine, and user defined macros,
//!  which are created in specific TeX documents using primitives like `\def`.
//! We often use the word command and primitive interchangeably here because in the context
//! of implementing TeX engines they’re basically synonymous.
//! A TeX engine could theoretically provide a native user defined macro...but it’s unlikely.
//!
//! ## Expansion vs execution
//!
//! Expansion and execution commands seem similar because they both optionally
//! read input tokens and then make changes to the VM.
//! However the differences are pretty significant in practice:
//!
//! |                                          | Expansion | Execution
//! |------------------------------------------|-----------|-----------
//! Can read tokens from the input stream?     | Yes       | Yes
//! Can add tokens to the input stream>        | Yes       | It’s possible, but the API discourages it.[^futurelet]
//! Can make changes to the state?             | No        | Yes
//! Is evaluated when tokens are only being expanded, like in `\edef` | Yes | No
//!
//!
//! [^futurelet]: `\futurelet` is an example of an execution command that does this.
//!

/// A tag is a piece of metadata that is optionally attached to a command.
///
/// Tags are used to implement certain TeX language semantics.
/// An example is TeX conditionals.
/// When a TeX conditional statement evaluates to false, the `\if` command must scan
///     the input stream until it finds either an `\else` or `\fi` command.
/// (The tokens scanned in this process are in the true branch of the conditional,
///     and must thus be discarded.)
/// Tags are the mechanism by which the scanning algorithm can
///     determine if a token corresponds to an `\else` of `\fi` command.
/// Concretely, both `\else` of `\fi` command have unique tags associated to them.
/// When scanning the stream,
///     if a token is a command token then the tag for the associated command is
///     compared to the known tags for `\else` and `\fi`.
/// If the tags match, the true branch is finished.
///
/// In general, TeX commands interface with the VM in two ways.
/// The first most common way is when the main VM loop or expansion loop encounters a command.
/// The loop invokes the command's associated Rust function.
/// One can think of the Rust function as providing the behavior of the command in this context.
///
/// The second way is when a different command, like a conditional command, performs some operation
///     that is dependent on the commands it reads out of the input stream.
/// In this context the commands in the input stream provide behavior using tags.
/// The `\else` command having the specific else tag results in the conditional branch processing completing.
///
/// Note that the same tag can be used for multiple commands,
/// but each command can only have one tag.
///
/// ## Implementation details
///
/// Tags are non-zero 32 bit integers.
/// The first tag created has value 1, the second tag has value 2, and so on.
/// A global mutex is used to store the next tag value.
