\do will get undefined in koma script

[mowgli]

When using koma script, the \do macro is used internally for example in \chapter code and can end in \relax. That means that \renewcommand*\do…, as described in various list commands, will end in subtle errors.

Using \def\do#1… will help. So please update at least the documentation. Maybe there is another way to make it more robust.

I had a chat to a few other people and it seems there is agreement that this is confusing.

Tell me what I can do to clearify. For example scrbook does use \do for its own purpose and after a \chapter{...} it gets undefined so \renewcommand\do[1]{...} does error out. I currently fixed that by using \def\do##1{...} instead, which doesn't care about defined or not. But using the TeX \def is not optimal in LaTeX packages.
