Shall this go in nath? Or, Hans, will you protect those macros?


if so, i need to protect the lot, any system/logic behind what to protect ?


I have no idea. Everything? What's the downside of protecting a
macro?

sometimes you want it to be expandable

\unexpanded\def\blabla{\handle{blabla}}

will not expand even if \handle is expandable (could be a problem in for instance fallbacks for pdf bookmarks and such)

\def\blabla{\handle{blabla}}

now one can overload \handle, and \handle can be protected if needed
