=head1 NAME

C<LaTeXML::Core::Definition::Register>  - Control sequence definitions for Registers.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

These are set up as a speciallized primitive with a getter and setter
to access and store values in the Stomach.
See L<LaTeXML::Package> for the most convenient means to create them.

It extends L<LaTeXML::Core::Definition::Primitive>.

Registers generally store some value in the current C<LaTeXML::Core::State>, but are not
required to. Like TeX's registers, when they are digested, they expect an optional
C<=>, and then a value of the appropriate type. Register definitions support these
additional methods:

=head1 Methods

=over 4

=item C<< $value = $register->valueOf(@args); >>

Return the value associated with the register, by invoking it's C<getter> function.
The additional args are used by some registers
to index into a set, such as the index to C<\count>.

=item C<< $register->setValue($value,@args); >>

Assign a value to the register, by invoking it's C<setter> function.
