\aftergroup a list of tokens

Question

\aftergroup executes the next token after the end of the current group. Is there a variant, \Vaftergroup{\some\tokens\a\b} that would put \some\tokens\a\b after the current group ends? Of course, one can do \aftergroup\some\aftergroup\tokens\aftergroup\a\aftergroup\b, but when the list is longer, it becomes messy.

This is motivated by an answer that works but is ugly.

Answer 1

In much the same vein as Herbert's answer, a 'pre-built' version of the same idea is provided by the etextools package: see \AfterGroup. I guess that \aftergroup is used rarely enough that this has not been a big demand :-)

Answer 2

don't know if this might help.

\documentclass{article}

\def\ta{Hello}
\def\tb{ World. }
\def\tc{How are you?}
%\def\Tokens{\ta\tb\tc}

\begin{document}

\begingroup
\gdef\Tokens{\ta\tb\tc}% or like above with def
\aftergroup\Tokens
\let\ua=\tc
\let\ub=\tb
\let\uc=\ta
\ua\ub\uc---\par
\endgroup

\end{document}

Answer 3

Below there is an alternative. \Tokens remains local.

\documentclass{article}

\def\ta{Hello}
\def\tb{ World. }
\def\tc{How are you?}
%\def\Tokens{\ta\tb\tc}

\begin{document}

\begingroup
\def\Tokens{\ta\tb\tc}% or like above with def
\let\ua=\tc
\let\ub=\tb
\let\uc=\ta
\ua\ub\uc---\par
\expandafter\endgroup\Tokens

\show\Tokens
\end{document}
