 Key processor that combines features of xkeyval and pgfkeys.
 
 New features:
 
 1. Providing the key's argument pattern within the key's callback:
 
 \skvordkey[KV]{fam}{key1}[default1a/1b]{%
   .arg expanded{#1/#2}
   \def\mylength{#1}\def\mywidth{#2}%
 }
 
 2. List-processor keys. E.g.,
 
 \skvlistkeys[KV]{fam}{key1,key2}[default1a,1b; default2a,2b]{%
   .arg{#1,#2}\listsep{;}\somemethod{#1}{#2}%
 }
 
 3. Handlers such as in
   
 \def\valuelist{1,2,3,4}
 \skvsetkeys[KV]{fam}{keya=.expand once process list{\valuelist}}
 
 for a (non-list) key defined as an ordinary key:
 
 \skvordkey[KV]{fam}{keya}{\def\myitem{#1}}
 
 4. Prefix and family can be fixed for subsequent keys. E.g.,
 
 \skvsetprefix{KV}
 \skvsetfamily{fam} 
 
 5. Option and nonoption keys:
 
 \skvoptionkeys[KV]{fam}{key1}
 \skvnonoptionkeys[KV]{fam}{key2,key3} 
 
 6. Bug fixes.

 (1) Values of choice keys (key type '.choice' in the handlers '.define keys' 
 and '.new keys') are no longer automatically converted into lowercase before 
 matching them against the state pattern of the key. The key type '.choice*' 
 has been introduced. This type will automatically convert user values into 
 lowercase before matching them in the singleton.

 Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

 This new version of skeyval package is a significant departure from
 previous versions. It aims to integrate the features of xkeyval and
 pgfkeys packages by introducing a new type of handlers. The skeyval
 package puts handlers at the beginning of the key, unlike in
 pgfkeys. Style keys, links, changing key callbacks and values on the
 fly, and other features of pgfkeys are introduced in a new context.
