Introduce \. as a NOP command. The purpose of this is to act as a
zero-width delimiter between a macro invocation and text beyond it, so that you can define (say) a macro which expands to a Euro sign and then write `\eur\.2500' to avoid having space between the Euro sign and the number. [originally from svn r3982]

Use of macros: let's talk about \coopt. And about \coopt some more.
And a nested macro: \metacoopt.
+A slightly more difficult macro: \eur\.2500.

Oh, while I'm here: some special characters. The \\, \{ and \}
characters, to be precise. And their code equivalents, \c{\\},
\i\c{\{}, \c{\}}.
