%  \subsection{Looking at MC marks in boxes}
%  \begin{macro}{\@@_add_missing_mcs:Nn}
%    Assumptions:
%    \begin{itemize}
%    \item
%       test for tagging active outside;
%    \item
%       mark retrieval also outside.
%    \end{itemize}
%
%    This takes a box register as its first argument (or the register
%    number in a count register, as used by \pkg{multicol}). It adds
%    an extra tmb at the top of the box if necessary and similarly
%    an extra tme at the end. This is done by adding hboxes in a way
%    that the positioning and the baseline of the given box is not
%    altered.  The result is written back to the box.
%
%    The second argument is the stream this box belongs to und is
%    currently either \texttt{main} for the main galley,
%    \texttt{footnote} for footnote note text, or \texttt{multicol}
%    for boxes produced for columns in that environment. Other streams
%    may follow over time.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new_protected:Npn\@@_add_missing_mcs:Nn #1 #2 {
  \vbadness \@M
  \vfuzz    \c_max_dim
  \vbox_set_to_ht:Nnn #1 { \box_ht:N #1 } {
    \hbox_set:Nn \l_@@_tmpa_box { \@@_mc_insert_extra_tmb:n {#2} }

           \seq_log:c { g_@@_mc_#2_marks_seq}
         }
%    \end{macrocode}
%    The box placed on the top gets zero size and thus will not affect
%    the box dimensions of the box we are modifying.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \box_set_ht:Nn \l_@@_tmpa_box \c_zero_dim
    \box_set_dp:Nn \l_@@_tmpa_box \c_zero_dim
%    \end{macrocode}
%    The box added at the bottom will get the depth of the original
%    box. This way we can arrange that from the outside everything
%    looks as before.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \box_set_ht:Nn \l_@@_tmpb_box \c_zero_dim
    \box_set_dp:Nn \l_@@_tmpb_box { \box_dp:N #1 }
%    \end{macrocode}
%    We need to set \cs{boxmaxdepth} in case the original box has an
%    unusually large depth, otherwise that depth is not preserved when
%    we string things together.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \boxmaxdepth \@maxdepth
    \box_use_drop:N        \l_@@_tmpa_box
    \vbox_unpack_drop:N     #1
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Back up by the depth of the box as we add that later again.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \tex_kern:D -\box_dp:N \l_@@_tmpb_box
%    \end{macrocode}
%    And we don't want any glue added when we add the box.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \nointerlineskip
    \box_use_drop:N \l_@@_tmpb_box
  }
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}

%  \begin{macro}{\tag_mc_add_missing_to_stream:Nn,\@@_add_missing_mcs_to_stream:Nn}
%    This is the main command to add mc to the stream. It is therefore
%    guarded by the mc-boolean.
%
%    If we aren't in the main stream then processing is a bit more
%    complicated because to get at the marks in the box we need to
%    artificially split it and then look at the split marks.
%
%    First argument is the box to update and the second is the \enquote{stream}.
%    In lua mode the command is a no-op.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \@@_add_missing_mcs_to_stream:Nn #1#2
  {
    \@@_check_if_active_mc:T {
%    \end{macrocode}
%    First set up a temp box for trial splitting.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \vbadness\maxdimen
    \box_set_eq:NN \l_@@_tmpa_box #1
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Split the box to the largest size available. This should give us
%    all content (but to be sure that there is no issue we could test
%    out test box is empty now (not done).
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \vbox_set_split_to_ht:NNn \l_@@_tmpa_box \l_@@_tmpa_box \c_max_dim
%    \end{macrocode}
%    As a side effect of this split we should now have the first and
%    bottom split marks set up. We use this to set up
%    \cs{l_@@_mc_firstmarks_seq}
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \exp_args:NNe
    \seq_set_from_clist:Nn \l_@@_mc_firstmarks_seq
        { \tex_splitfirstmarks:D \g_@@_mc_marks }
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Some debugging info:
%    \begin{macrocode}
%    \iow_term:n { First~ mark~ from~ this~ box: }
%    \seq_log:N \l_@@_mc_firstmarks_seq
%    \end{macrocode}
%    If this mark was empty then clearly the bottom mark will too be
%    empty. Thus in this case we make use of the saved bot mark from
%    the previous chunk. Note that if this is the first chunk in the
%    stream the global seq would contain a random value, but then we
%    can't end in this branch because the basis assumption is that
%    streams are properly marked up so the first chunk would always
%    have a mark at the beginning!
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \seq_if_empty:NTF \l_@@_mc_firstmarks_seq
        {
          \@@_check_typeout_v:n
            {
              No~ marks~ so~ use~ saved~ bot~ mark:~
              \seq_use:cn {g_@@_mc_#2_marks_seq} {,~} \iow_newline:
            }
           \seq_set_eq:Nc \l_@@_mc_firstmarks_seq {g_@@_mc_#2_marks_seq}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    We also update the bot mark to the same value so that we can
%    later apply \cs{@@_add_missing_mcs:Nn} with the data
%    structures in place (see assumptions made there).
%    \begin{macrocode}
          \seq_set_eq:NN \l_@@_mc_botmarks_seq \l_@@_mc_firstmarks_seq
        }
%    \end{macrocode}
%    If there was a first mark then there is also a bot mark (and it
%    can't be the same as our marks always come in pairs).
%    So if that branch is chosen we update
%    \cs{l_@@_mc_botmarks_seq} from the bot mark.
%    \begin{macrocode}
        {
          \@@_check_typeout_v:n
            {

        }
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Finally we call \cs{@@_add_missing_mcs:Nn} to add any missing
