### Changes:
Update in macros:
- `%getVars()` and `%QgetVars()`
- New *optional* parameter `nlit=`. Introduced to improve `validvarname=ANY` handling. Indicates if the `NLITERAL()` function should be executed to cover spacial characters. Default value is `0`.
- Code simplification for the `mcArray=` parameter case.
- Situation when the `%getVars()` macro is called with `mcArray=` in `%put` or `%let` statements is handled more gracefully.
- `%zipEvalf()` and `%QzipEvalf()`
- If the list contains quoted blanks, they are respected now, i.e. `a "b c"` are considered 2 strings, `a` and `b c`.

## The BasePlus package [ver. 2.0.1]
This release is dedicated to all dyslexics in the world.
### Changes:
New macros:
- [`%expandDataSetsList()`](https://github.com/SASPAC/baseplus/blob/2.0.0/baseplus.md#expanddatasetslist-macro) allowing to expand data set lists of the form: `a1-a3`, `b_:`, mixed, and `_all_`;
- [`%unifyVarsCaseSize()`](https://github.com/SASPAC/baseplus/blob/2.0.0/baseplus.md#unifyvarscasesize-macro) allowing to convert all variables in a list of datasets to all-low-case or all-upcase letters.
Both macros are result of recent discussions at `SAS-L` and `communities.sas.com`.
New format/informats:
- [`bpklength.`](https://github.com/SASPAC/baseplus/blob/2.0.0/baseplus.md#bpklength-format)
- [`bplength.`](https://github.com/SASPAC/baseplus/blob/2.0.0/baseplus.md#bplength-format)
- Bug fix in spelling (`lenght` vs `length`).
See [documentation](https://github.com/SASPAC/baseplus/blob/main/baseplus.md) for details.

### Changes in `%generatePackage()` macro:

## SAS Packages Framework, version 20221121
---
### New feature of "Cherry picking" added to the SAS Packages Framework.
Sometimes a package offers so many features that the number may be "overwhelming".
In such case only some of them may be selected for loading. Such process
is called a "cherry picking". The feature is provided by the `%loadPackage()` macro
which uses a `cherryPick=` parameter (see description below).
For example, execution of the following code:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
%loadPackage(BasePlus, cherryPick=rainCloudPlot getVars)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
results with loading only the `rainCloudPlot` and the `getVars` elements.
If several object types (e.g., a macro and a format) share the same name
all will be loaded.
What is the trade-off?
- Since the cherry picking selects only a part of the package the `SYSloadedPackages`
macrovariable is not updated with the package name.
- Dependencies i.e., packages from the `ReqPackages` list, are not loaded automatically,
so they have to be loaded manually.
- The `%unloadPackage()` macro executed on such partially loaded package may issue
some (irrelevant) warnings.
---
### Changes in `%loadPackage()` macro:
- New `cherryPick=` parameter added to the macro.
As a value a *space separated* list of selected elements
of the package to be loaded into the SAS session is expected.
Default value of an asterisk (`*`) means: "load all elements of the package".
Empty list is equivalent to default.
- Documentation updated.
### Changes in `%generatePackage()` macro:
- Code adjustment for the cherry picking feature.
- Minor additional code refactoring.
- The `%ICEloadPackage()` macro does not support cherry picking.
---
### The following packages were regenerated with the latest version of the framework:
- BasePlus [1.17.2]
- DFA [0.5.2]
- dynMacroArray [0.2.2]
- GSM [0.20.2]
- macroArray [1.0.2]
- SQLinDS [2.2.2]
