this is indeed the way to go; for those unfamiliar with the \expanded macro
(not a primitive): the first thing encountered is *not* expanded, which is
what one often wants, like in
\expanded{\somekindofcommand{the stuff to be expanded}
it even works well in cases like:
\expanded{\somecommand[first not yet expanded arg]}[second already
expanded arg]
which is more unreadable but faster than
\expanded{\somecommand[....][...]}
i something should not be expanded inside \expanded, precede it by
\noexpand (except for the first token)
