On Mon, 23 May 2011 Uwe Lück submitted the
ifnextok
package.
Summary description: replacing @ifnextchar so `\ [' prints `[' in new line etc.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
`ifnextok' deals with the behavior of LaTeX's internal
`@ifnextchar' to skip blank spaces. This sometimes has surprising
or for some users really unwanted effects, especially with
brackets following ` where the user does not intend to specify
an optional argument, rather wants that brackets are printed.
The package offers commands and options for modifying this
behavior, maybe limited to certain parts of the document source.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package is located at
http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ifnextok
. More information is at
http://www.ctan.org/pkg/ifnextok
(if the package is new it may take a day for that information to
appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Thanks for the upload.
