Biggest problem is probably a good name: a) \expanded would be a nice name, but it clashes with ConTeXt. I remember trouble with \unexpanded :-( b) It would belong to e-TeX, but there isn't a e-TeX prefix: \etexexpanded or \etexexpand c) pdfTeX's convention with prefix "\pdf" (see \pdfstrcmp, \pdfescape*): \pdfexpanded or \pdfexpand d) longer names
My preference is c) to avoid trouble with macro name clashes. I can live with a), then my package etexcmds would get a new macro \etex@expanded.
Hans and I think a) would be fine. c) is somewhat silly as it is not related to pdftex, and also a) combines nicely with the already present \unexpanded.
I agree. A patch is welcome. :-) Best Martin
