Summary description: verbatim in macro arguments (footnote, section,...)
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduces the macro cprotect, which allows the control
sequence that follows to take verbatim text among its argument.
For instance, footnote, section, chapter, itle... can
be made to contain verb, and
egin{verbatim}...end{verbatim}, as well as any catcode
change.
Moving arguments, ableofcontents, etc. also work well! A
typical use: cprotectsection{The verb+|+ symbol.} works
as wanted.
Similar command for protecting environments.

Note from author:

I am also thinking of writing a package that parses a TeX file for regexp,
