> - Added expandable l_if_empty:x(TF) test.
> - Add experimental 'list comprehension' functions

> are accessible using the native allocator when using LuaTeX.
> - Revise cs_show:c and cs_meaning:c to test explicitly for

> - Revise some internals of ior/iow stream allocations.
> - Make l_replace_... functions robust inside halign.
> - Fix bugs in the l_rescan... functions to handle &
