Hi,

I expected that buffers are verbatimly stored to the file immediately in the
time of processing \startbuffer...\stopbuffer thand the file is read
processing \getbuffer.

But it seems to me that the source file is parsed by texexec to find
\startbuffer...\stopbuffer before TeX processing. Is it orrect? If so, how
the included files are parsed (mainly if the macro expansion is needed for
detection of inclusion)?
