%
% \begin{macro}[EXP]
%   {\@@_tuple_convert:Nw, \@@_tuple_convert_loop:nNw, \@@_tuple_convert_end:w}
%   The first argument is for instance \cs{@@_to_tl_dispatch:w}, which
%   converts any floating point object to the appropriate
%   representation.  We loop through all items, putting |,~| between all
%   of them and making sure to remove the leading |,~|.

%   If |#1| ends with a $0$, the \texttt{loop} auxiliary takes that zero
%   as an end-delimiter for its first argument, and the second argument
%   is the same \texttt{loop} auxiliary.  Once the last trailing zero is
%   reached, the second argument is the \texttt{dot} auxiliary,
%   which removes a trailing dot if any.  We then clean-up with the
%   \texttt{end} auxiliary, keeping only the number.

%   Expressing an internal floating point number in scientific notation
%   is quite easy: no rounding, and the format is very well defined.
%   First cater for the sign: negative numbers ($|#2|=2$) start
%   with~|-|; we then only need to care about positive numbers and
%   \texttt{nan}.  Then filter the special cases: $\pm0$~are represented
%   as~|0|; infinities are converted to a number slightly larger than
%   the largest after an \enquote{invalid_operation} exception;
%   \texttt{nan} is represented as~|0| after an
%   \enquote{invalid_operation} exception.  In the normal case,
%   decrement the exponent and unbrace the $4$ brace groups, then in a
%   second step grab the first digit (previously hidden in braces) to
%   order the various parts correctly.

%   The structure is similar to \cs{@@_to_scientific:w}.
%   Insert |-| for
%   negative numbers.  Zero gives $0$, $\pm\infty$ and \nan{} yield an
%   \enquote{invalid operation} exception; note that $\pm\infty$
%   produces a very large output, which we don't expand now since it
%   most likely won't be needed.  Normal numbers with an exponent in the
%   range $[1,15]$ have that number of digits before the decimal
%   separator: \enquote{decimate} them, and remove leading zeros with
%   \cs{int_value:w}, then trim trailing zeros and dot.  Normal
%   numbers with an exponent $16$ or larger have no decimal separator,
%   we only need to add trailing zeros.  When the exponent is
%   non-positive, the result should be $0.\meta{zeros}\meta{digits}$,
%   trimmed.

%   Converts an array of floating point numbers to a comma-list.  If

%   auxiliary to become
%   \begin{verbatim}
