Make sure to have a look at expl3 (and others like e.g. xparse and
xstring) package, i.e. upcoming LaTeX 3, before writing this class,
because as a programming language the new version seems highly superior,
and will most likely result in much cleaner and more readable code.
Its well documented, search for 'The LaTeX 3 Interface' and 'The expl3
Package and LaTeX 3 Programming'.
