% \begin{macro}{\@@_chk_expr_aux:nNnN}
%   When debugging is enabled these two functions set
%   \cs{__kernel_chk_expr:nNnN} to test or not whether the given
%   expression is valid.  The idea is to evaluate the expression within
%   a brace group (to catch trailing \cs{use_none:nn} or similar), then
%   test that the result is what we expect.  This is done by turning it
%   to an integer and hitting that with \cs{tex_romannumeral:D} after
%   replacing the first character by |-0|.  If all goes well, that
%   primitive finds a non-positive integer and gives an empty output.
%   If the original expression evaluation stopped early it leaves a
%   trailing \cs{tex_relax:D}, which stops the second evaluation (used
%   to convert to integer) before it encounters the final
%   \cs{tex_relax:D}.  Since \cs{tex_romannumeral:D} does not absorb
%   \cs{tex_relax:D} the output will be nonempty.  Note that |#3| is
%   empty except for mu expressions for which it is \cs{tex_mutoglue:D}
%   to avoid an \enquote{incompatible glue units} error.  Note also that
%   if we had omitted the first \cs{tex_relax:D} then for instance
%   |1+2\relax+3| would incorrectly be accepted as a valid integer
%   expression.

%   Some functions don't take the arguments their signature indicates.
%   For instance, \cs{clist_concat:NNN} doesn't take (directly) any
%   argument, so patching it with something that uses |#1|, |#2|, or
%   |#3| results in ``Illegal parameter number in definition of
%   \cs{clist_concat:NNN}''.
%
%   Instead of changing \emph{the} definition of the macros, we'll
%   create a copy of such macros, say, \cs[no-index]{@@_clist_concat:NNN} which
%   will be defined as
%   |<debug code with #1, #2 and #3>\clist_concat:NNN#1#2#3|. For that
%   we need to identify the signature of every function and build the
%   appropriate parameter list.
%
%   \cs{@@_generate_parameter_list:NNN} takes a function in |#1| and
%   returns teo parameter lists: |#2| contains the simple |#1#2#3| as
%   would be used in the \meta{parameter~text} of the definition and
%   |#3| contains the same parameters but with braces where necessary.
%
%   With the current implementation the resulting |#3| is, for example
%   for |\some_function:NnNn|, |#1{#2}#3{#4}|. While this is correct,
%   it might be unnecessary. Bracing everything will usually have the
%   same outcome (unless the function was misused in the first place).

%   Simple patching by adding material at the start and end of (a
%   collection of) functions is straight-forward as we know the catcode
%   set up. The approach is essentially that in \pkg{etoolbox}. Notice
%   the need to worry about spaces: those are otherwise lost as normally
%   in \pkg{expl3} code they would be~|~|.
%
%   As discussed above, some functions don't take arguments, so we can't
%   patch something that uses an argument in them. For these functions
%   \cs{__kernel_patch:nnn} is used. It starts by creating a copy of the
%   function (say, \cs{clist_concat:NNN}) with a |__debug_| prefix in
%   the name. This copy won't be changed. The code redefines the
%   original function to take the exact same arguments as advertised in
%   its signature (see \cs{@@_generate_parameter_list:NNN} above).
%   The redefined function also contains the debug code in the proper
%   position. If a function with the same name and the |__debug_| prefix
%   was already defined, then the macro patches that definition by
%   adding more debug code to it.
