Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

Key processor that combines features of xkeyval and pgfkeys.

New features:

1. Providing the key's argument pattern within the key's callback:

   skvordkey[KV]{fam}{key1}[default1a/1b]{% .arg expanded{#1/#2} defmylength{#1}defmywidth{#2}% }

2. List-processor keys. E.g.,

   skvlistkeys[KV]{fam}{key1,key2}[default1a,1b; default2a,2b]{% .arg{#1,#2}listsep{;}somemethod{#1}{#2}% }

3. Handlers such as in

   defvaluelist{1,2,3,4} skvsetkeys[KV]{fam}{keya=.expand once process list{valuelist}}

   for a (non-list) key defined as an ordinary key:

   skvordkey[KV]{fam}{keya}{defmyitem{#1}}

4. Prefix and family can be fixed for subsequent keys. E.g.,

   skvsetprefix{KV} skvsetfamily{fam}

5. Option and nonoption keys:

   skvoptionkeys[KV]{fam}{key1} skvnonoptionkeys[KV]{fam}{key2,key3}

6. Bug fixes.
