% \subsection{Integer testing}
%
% \begin{macro}{\@@_is_integer:n, \@@_int_to_roman:w}
%   From \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/244405} (thanks Enrico Gregorio,
%   aka `egreg'), also see \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/19769}.
%   Following the \texttt{l3styleguide}, I made a copy of
%   \cs{__int_to_roman:w}, since it is an internal function from the
%   \texttt{int} module, but we still get a warning from \texttt{l3build doc},
%   complaining about it.  And we're using \cs{tl_if_empty:oTF} instead of
%   \cs{tl_if_blank:oTF} as in egreg's answer, since \cs{romannumeral} is
%   defined so that ``the expansion is empty if the number is zero or
%   negative'', not ``blank''.  A couple of comments about this technique: the
%   underlying \cs{romannumeral} ignores space tokens and explicit signs
%   (\texttt{+} and \texttt{-}) in the expansion and hence it can only be used
%   to test positive integers; also the technique cannot distinguish whether
%   it received an empty argument or if ``the expansion was empty'' as a
%   result of receiving number as argument, so this must also be controlled
%   for since, in our use case, this may happen.

%
% \begin{macro}{\@@_is_integer_rgx:n}
%   A possible alternative to \cs{@@_is_integer:n} is to use a straightforward

%   not suffer from the mentioned caveats from the \cs{__int_to_roman:w}
%   technique, however, while \cs{@@_is_integer:n} is expandable,
%   \cs{@@_is_integer_rgx:n} is not.  Also, \cs{@@_is_integer_rgx:n} is
%   probably slower.

%
% \subsection{Position on page}
%
% Method for determining relative position within the page: the sequence in
% which the labels get shipped out, inferred from the sequence in which the
% labels occur in the \file{.aux} file.
%
% Some relevant info about the sequence of things:
% \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/120978} and \texttt{texdoc lthooks},
% section ``Hooks provided by |\begin{document}|''.
%
%
% One first attempt at this was to use \cs{zref@newlabel}, which is the macro
% in which \pkg{zref} stores the label information in the aux file.  When the
% \file{.aux} file is read at the beginning of the compilation, this macro is
% expanded for each of the labels.  So, by redefining this macro we can feed a
% variable (a L3 sequence), and then do what it usually does, which is to
% define each label with the internal macro \cs{@newl@bel}, when the
% \file{.aux} file is read.
%
% Patching this macro for this is not possible.  First, \cs{zref@newlabel} is
% one of those ``commands that look ahead'' mentioned in \pkg{ltcmdhooks}
% documentation.  Indeed, \cs{@newl@bel} receives 3 arguments, and
% \cs{zref@newlabel} just passes the first, the following two will be scanned
% ahead.  Second, the \pkg{ltcmdhooks} hooks are not actually available when
% the \file{.aux} file is read, they come only after |\begin{document}|.
% Hence, redefinition would be the only alternative.  My attempts at this
% ended up registered at \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/604744}.  But
% the best result in these lines was:
%
% \begin{verbatim}
% \ZREF@Robust\edef\zref@newlabel#1{
%   \noexpand\seq_gput_right:Nn \noexpand\g__zrefcheck_auxfile_lblseq_seq {#1}
%   \noexpand\@newl@bel{\ZREF@RefPrefix}{#1}
% }
% \end{verbatim}
%
%
% However, better than the above is to just read it from the \file{.aux} file
% directly, which relieves us from hacking into any internals.  That's what
% David Carlisle's answer at \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/147705}
% does.  This answer has actually been converted into the package
% \pkg{listlbls} by Norbert Melzer, but it is made to work with regular
% labels, not with \pkg{zref}'s.  And it also does not really expose the
% information in a retrievable way (as far as I can tell).  So, the below is
% adapted from Carlisle's answer's technique (a poor man's version of it...).
%
% There is some subtlety here as to whether this approach makes it safe for us
% to read the labels at this point without \cs{zref@wrapper@babel}.  The
% common wisdom is that babel's shorthands are only active after
% |\begin{document}| (e.g., \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/98897}).
% Alas, it is more complicated than that.  Babel's documentation says (in
% section 9.5 Shorthands): ``To prevent problems with the loading of other
% packages after babel we reset the catcode of the character to the original
% one at the end of the package and of each language file (except with
% KeepShorthandsActive).  It is re-activate[d] again at |\begin{document}|.
% We also need to make sure that the shorthands are active during the
% processing of the \file{.aux} file.  Otherwise some citations may give
% unexpected results in the printout when a shorthand was used in the optional
% argument of |\bibitem| for example.''  This is done with
% |\if@filesw \immediate\write\@mainaux{...}|.  In other words, the
% catcode change is written in the \file{.aux} file itself!  Indeed, if you
% inspect the file, you'll find them there.  Besides, there is still the
% ominous ``except with KeepShorthandsActive''.
%
% However, the \emph{method} we're using here is not quite the same as the
% usual run of the \file{.aux} file, because we're actively discarding the
% lines for which the first token is not equal to \cs{zref@newlabel}.  I have
% tested the famous sensitive case for this: \pkg{babel} \opt{french} and
% labels with colons.  And things worked as expected.  Well, \emph{if}
% \opt{KeepShorthandsActive} is enabled \emph{with \opt{french}} and we load
% the package \emph{after babel} things do break, but not quite because of the
% colons in the labels.  Even \pkg{siunitx} breaks in the same
% conditions\dots{}

% For reference: About what are valid characters for use in labels:

% should be a token list.''  See also moewe's (CW) answer in the same lines.
% Which suggests using L3 strings for the reference labels might be a good

% The alternate method I had considered (more than that...) for this was using
% yx coordinates supplied by \pkg{zref}'s \pkg{savepos} module.  However, this
% approach brought in a number of complexities, including the need to patch
% either \cs{zref@label} or \cs{ZREF@label}.  In addition, the technique was
% at the bottom fundamentally flawed.  Ulrike Fischer was very much right when
% she said that ``structure and position are two different beasts''
% (\url{https://github.com/ho-tex/zref/issues/12#issuecomment-880022576}).  It
% is true that the checks based on it behaved decently, in normal
% circumstances, and except for outrageous label placement by the user, it
% would return the expected results.  We don't really need exact coordinates
% to decide ``above/below''.  Besides, it would do an exact job for the
% dedicated target macros of this package.  It is also true that the ``page''
% for \cs{pageref} is stored with the value of where the \cs{label} is placed,
% wherever that may be.  However, I could not conceive a situation where the
% \texttt{yx} criterion would perform clearly better than the
% \texttt{labelseq} one.  And, if that's the case, and considering the
% complications it brings, this check was a slippery slope.  All in all, I've
% decided to drop it.
%
% There's an interesting answer by David Carlisle at
% \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/419189} to decide whether to typeset
% ``above'' or ``below'' using a method which essentially boils down to
% ``position in the \file{.aux} file''.

% \subsection{Counter}
%
% We need a dedicated counter for the labels generated by the checks and

% find a \cs{refstepcounter} equivalent in L3, we use a standard 2e counter
% here.  I'm also using the technique to ensure the counter is never reset
% that is used by \file{zref-abspage.sty} and \cs{zref@require@unique}.
% Indeed, the requirements are the same, we need numbers ensured to be
% \emph{unique} in the counter.

% \subsection{Property values}
%
%
% \begin{macro}[int]{\zrefcheck_get_astl:nnn}
%   A convenience function to retrieve property values from labels.  Uses
%   \cs{g_@@_auxfile_lblseq_prop} for \texttt{lblseq}, and calls
%   \cs{zref@extractdefault} for everything else.
%
%   We cannot use the ``return value'' of \cs{@@_get_astl:nnn} or
%   \cs{@@_get_asint:nnn} directly, because we need to use the retrieved
%   property values as arguments in the checks, however we use here a number
%   of non-expandable operations.  Hence, we receive a local \texttt{tl/int}
%   variable as third argument and set that, so that it is available (and
%   expandable) at the place of use, and also make these functions `protected'
%   (see egreg's \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/572903}: ``a function
%   that performs assignments should be \texttt{protected}'').  For this
%   reason, we do not group here, because we are passing a local variable
%   around, but it is expected this function will be called within a group.
%
%   We're returning \cs{c_empty_tl} in case of failure to find the intended
%   property value (explicitly in \cs{zref@extractdefault}, but that is also
%   what \cs{tl_clear:N} does).
%
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{zrefcheck_get_astl:nnn} \Arg{label} \Arg{prop} \Arg{tl var}
%   \end{syntax}

% There are three things we need to check to ensure the information we are

% of \Arg{prop}, and whether the particular label being queried actually
% contains the property.  If that's all in place, the value is passed to the
% checks, and it's their responsibility to verify the consistency of this
% value.
%
% The existence of the label is an user facing issue, and a warning for this
% is placed in \cs{@@_zcheck:nnnnn} (and done with \cs{zref@refused}).  We do
% check here though for definition with \cs{zref@ifrefundefined} and silently

%
% \begin{variable}{\l_@@_integer_bool}
%   \cs{zrefcheck_get_asint:nnn} is a very convenient wrapper around the more
%   general \cs{zrefcheck_get_astl:nnn}, since almost always we'll be wanting
%   to compare numbers in the checks.  However, it is quite hard for it to
%   ensure an integer is \emph{always} returned in the case of errors.  And
%   those do occur, even in a well structured document (e.g., in a first round
%   of compilation).  To complicate things, the L3 integer predicates are
%   \emph{very} sensitive to receiving any other kind of data, and they
%   \emph{scream}.  To handle this \cs{zrefcheck_get_asint:nnn} uses
%   \cs{l_@@_integer_bool} to signal if an integer could not be returned.  To
%   use this function always set \cs{l_@@_integer_bool} to true first, then
%   call it as much as you need.  If any of these calls got is returning
%   anything which is not an integer, \cs{l_@@_integer_bool} will have been
%   set to false, and you should check that this hasn't happened before
%   actually comparing the integers (\cs{bool_lazy_and:nnTF} is your friend).

% \section{Checks}
%
% What is needed define a \pkg{zref-check} check?
%
% First, a conditional function defined with:
%
% \cs{prg_new_protected_conditional:Npnn} \cs{@@_check_\meta{check}:nn} |#1#2 { F }|
%
% \noindent where \meta{check} is the name of the check, the first argument is
% the \Arg{label} and the second the \Arg{reference}.  The existence of the
% check is verified by the existence of the function with this name-scheme
% (and signatures).  As usual, this function must return either
% \cs{prg_return_true:} or \cs{prg_return_false:}.  Of course, you can define
% other variants if you need them internally, it is just that what the package
% does expect and verifies is the existence of the \texttt{:nnF} variant.
%
% Note that the naming convention of the checks adopts the perspective of the
% \meta{reference}.  That is, the ``before'' check should return true if the
% \meta{label} occurs before the ``reference''.
%
% The check conditionals are expected to retrieve \pkg{zref}'s label
% information with \cs{zrefcheck_get_astl:nnn} or
% \cs{zrefcheck_get_asint:nnn}.  Also, technically speaking, the
% \meta{reference} argument is also a label, actually a pair of them, as set
% by \cs{zcheck}.  For the ``labels'', any \pkg{zref} property in \pkg{zref}'s
% main list is available, the ``references'' store the properties in the
% \texttt{zrefcheck} list.  Besides those, there is also the \texttt{lblseq}
% (fake) property (for either ``labels'' or ``references''), stored in
% \cs{g_@@_auxfile_lblseq_prop}.
%
% Second, the required properties of labels and references must be duly
% registered for \pkg{zref}.  This can be done with \cs{zref@newprop},
% \cs{zref@addprop} and friends, as usual.
%
% Third, the check must be registered as a key which gets setup in
% \cs{zcheck} by the \texttt{ zref-check / zcheck } key set.
%
% Fourth, if the check requires only a single label to work, it should be
% registered in \cs{c_@@_single_label_checks_seq}.
%
%
% \subsection{Single label checks}
%
%
% Some checks do not require an ``end label'' in \cs{zcheck}, notably the
% sectioning ones, which don't rely on page boundaries.  Hence, in case
% \cs{zcheck} only calls checks in this set, we can spare the setting of the
% end label.

% integration with \pkg{zref-check} from the options of \cs{zcref}: i) set the
% ``beg label''; ii) set the checks options; iii) run the checks; iv)
% (possibly) set the ``end label''.  Since `ii)' can be done directly by
% running |\keys_set:nn { zref-check/zcheck }| on the options received, we
