In section 2.6 of Kopka & Daly's book, they state that "The issue of
fragile commands ... with LaTeX2e has become of academic interest: all
commands that are likely to be used in moving arguments are now robust." I
recently discovered that this isn't true: \nolinebreak is not robust and
\caption{Blah blah ... blah\nolinebreak\ blah blah blah}
fails rather dismally. This can of course be avoided with \protect, but
should \nolinebreak be instead made robust?
