%
%  \subsection{The problem\label{sec:sec:problem}}
%  ^^A
%  When you want to set only the table of contents of a document in two 
%  (or more columns), there is one known way^^A
%     \footnote{^^A
%        This was first used in the \package{doc} 
%        package\protect\cite{package:doc}.
%     }^^A
%  : Add an
%  \begin{quote}
%  |\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\begin{multicols}{2}}|
%  \end{quote}
%  before the \cs{tableofcontents} and an
%  \begin{quote}
%  |\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\end{multicols}}|
%  \end{quote}
%  at the end of the document.
%  This way your \file{toc} will start with |\begin{multicols}{2}|
%  and end with |\end{multicols}|.
%
%  This can be automised by using \cs{AtBeginDocument} and
%  \cs{AtEndDocument} but this has the drawback that it may
%  collide with other commands inserted using \cs{AtEndDocument} that
%  try to write information to the auxilary file (like the
%  \package{count1to} package\cite{package:count1to}).
%  This is because \TeX{} has two ways to write information to files 
%  \cite[p.\ 226--228]{KnuthTeXa}: immediately (when the \cs{write} is 
%  prefixed by \cs{immediate}) or deferred till the current page is 
%  finished and written out by \TeX{} (at the next \cs{shipout}).
%  \cs{addtocontents} does a deferred \cs{write}, \package{count1to}
%  does an immediate.
%
%  \begin{quote}
%     \small
%     Sidenote: \cs{addtocontents} writes a command to the \file{aux} file
%     to write its information to the \file{toc} file.
%     The \file{aux} is read in and executed by |\end{document}| and at
%     the next run by |\begin{document}|.
%     So the \file{toc} is written by |\end{document}| and at the
%     next run by |\begin{document}|.
%  \end{quote}
%
%  When you use the automised solution with \package{count1to} this may
%  happen:
%  \begin{enumerate}
%     \item The |\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\end{multicols}}| is inserted
%        using \cs{AtEndDocument} somewhere in the preamble.
%     \item \package{count1to} inserts this code
%        \begin{quote}
%        \hfuzz135pt
%        \small
%        |\clearpage|\\
%        |\immediate\write\@auxout{\string\newlabel{TotalPages}{{\the\count1}{\the\count1}}}|
%        \end{quote}
%        via an |\AtBeginDocument{\AtEndDocument{| so it can be sure that
%        this code is the \emph{last} code executed by \cs{AtEndDocument}.
%     \item At the |\end{document}| first the code from step~1 is executed
%        which adds the information to the current page to write the
%        |\@writefile{toc}{\end{multicols}}| to the auxilary file 
%        \emph{when the current page is finished}.
%
%        Then the code from step~2 is executed, which lets \LaTeX{} clear
%        the page (to force all pending writes to be written) and 
%        \emph{immediately} after that write the information for the 
%        |TotalPages| to the auxilary file.
%
%        Now suppose that the |\end{document}| is called \emph{just after}
%        \LaTeX{} has finished the last page.
%        The code from step~1 is never written to the file (since at the
%        \cs{clearpage} \LaTeX{} has no page to finish and so the code 
%        waits for the \cs{shipout} which won't come), but the code from 
%        step~2 is.
%        So you now have an \file{aux} which won't write the
%        |\end{multicols}| to the \file{toc}.
%        This of course produces an error at the next run.
%  \end{enumerate}
%
%
% ^^A -----------------------------
%
%  \subsection{A solution}
%  ^^A
%  \DescribeMacro{\@starttoc}
%  An easy way around this is to simply redefine \cs{@starttoc} from
%  \cite{package:ltsect} which reads in the \file{toc} to wrap a
%  \env{multicol} around it.\footnote{^^A
%     Thanks to Frank Mittelbach for reminding me of this.}^^A
%  $^{,}$^^A
%  \footnote{^^A
%     \raggedright
%     Version~1.00 of this package provided a more elaborate solution
%     to this using \cs{immediateaddtocontents}; this is no longer needed.
%     But the commands from version~1.00 are still provided (see
%     section~\ref{sec:sec:version100}).}
%
%
% ^^A -----------------------------
%
%  \section{Parameters}
%  ^^A
% \DescribeMacro{\multicolumntoc}
% \DescribeMacro{\multicolumnlot}
% \DescribeMacro{\multicolumnlof}
%  The number of columns for the table of contens, list of figures and
%  list of tables can be set by redefining the commands 
%  \cs{multicolumntoc}, \cs{multicolumnlot} and \cs{multicolumnlof}.
%  The default is two columns.
%
%
% ^^A -----------------------------
%
%  \section{Options}
%  ^^A
%  The package has the following options:
%  \nopagebreak
%  \begin{description}
%     \item[\normalfont\option{toc}]
%        The table of contents is set in \cs{multicolumntoc} columns.
%     \item[\normalfont\option{lof}]
%        The list of figures is set in \cs{multicolumnlof} columns.
%     \item[\normalfont\option{lot}]
%        The list of tables is set in \cs{multicolumnlot} columns.
%  \end{description}

%  \subsection{Code from Version~1.00\label{sec:sec:version100}}
%  ^^A
%  The first version of this package took a different approach to
%  solving the problem mentioned in section~\ref{sec:sec:problem} and
%  provided the commands \cs{protected@write@immediate} and 
%  \cs{immediateaddtocontents}.
%  Their code has been retained here for compatibilty reasons.
%
%  \DescribeMacro{\immediateaddtocontents}
%  \cs{immediateaddtocontents} is a version of \cs{addtocontents} which 
%  does just what the name implies: Write the information \cs{immediate}.
%
%  \begin{macro}{\protected@write@immediate}
%  This is a changed version of \cs{protected@write} 
%  from~\cite{package:ltfiles}.
%  It takes three arguments: an output stream, some initialization
%  code, and some text to write.
%  It then writes this \emph{immediately}, with
%  appropriate handling of |\protect| and |\thepage|.

%
% \begin{macro}{\immediateaddtocontents}
%  This is a changed version of \cs{addtocontents} 
%  from~\cite{package:ltsect}.
%  The |\immediateaddtocontents{|\meta{table}|}{|\meta{text}|}| command
%  \emph{immediately} adds \meta{text} to the |.|\meta{table} file,
