Snapshot of SVN 4091
- Fix iow_close:N to work 'immediately', not at shipout.
- Fix issues with expansion of message text.
- Internal improvements in l3fp, making better use of standard LaTeX3 conventions where applicable.
- Correct nature of expansion in lua_... functions.
- Improve documentation of ior_map... functions.
- Extend check-declarations for expl3 loading to cover more cases.
- Alter xparse environment definition such that it uses the same number of groups as LaTeX2e's standard approach.
- Extend use of FPU in dealing with floating point input for box and coffin scalings, etc.
- Clarify code and interface separation by defining Height, etc., only in xcoffins (design-level) and not l3coffins (code-level).
- Remove BoxToCoffin from xcoffins.

as always, thanks for the uploads; the updates should have made their way around the world by now, and are now in tex live (though possibly not yet at every mirror).
