CTAN Update: xargs

[CTAN Announcements]

On Sun, 23 Mar 2008 Manuel Pegourie-Gonnard submitted an update to the

  xargs 

package.

The package provides extended versions of \newcommand and related LaTeX 
commands, which allow easy and robust definition of macros with many optional 
arguments, using a clear and simple xkeyval-style syntax.

Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/xargs
Summary description: extented optional arguments handling
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Two new features:

1. The usedefault key allows you, when using many consecutive optional 
arguments, to specify a value only for the last one if you want.

2. You can know make gobal (or even \protected) definitions easily with the 
addprefix key.
 
Have fun!
