Snapshot of SVN 2828

• Bug fix for coffin typesetting where coffin the result should overlap text to the left of teh insertion point.
• Bug fix for xparse environments such that the correctly suppress following indents after 'display-like' environments.
• Bug fix for prop_map_... functions to correctly handle empty key names.
• Protect prg_stepwise... functions from an infinite loop on a zero step size.
• Documentation improvements to include date of introduction of functions into l3kernel, and dates of modification (where appropriate).
• Layout improvements in documentation to balance need for completeness with length of documentation.
• Improvements to l3doc to enable clearer information on expandability of functions to be included.
• Alter mode_if_math so it is expandable under all circumstances, providing an updated definition of scan_align_safe_stop: to work with this.
• New clist_(g)set:(N|c)n function set to complement clist_put... functions and reflect need to set comma-list data with space-stripping (see previous CTAN snapshot). The relatved .clist_(g)set:(N|c)n property has also bee added to l3keys.
• Templates now auto-generate variables required for their code.
• Remove a number of deprecated functions, as notified on LaTeX-L in May 2011. These functions are still in the sources at this stage for consultation, but are no longer extracted by DocStrip into the packages.
• A small number of additional functions have been marked for removal at the end of 2011, and so have been removed from the documentation (again as notified on LaTeX-L).
• Internal improvements in the efficiency of a number of basic functions, for example cs_generate_from_arg_count:, prg_stepwise....
