% \section{Introduction}
%If you want to redefine any predefined beamer template and try 
%something like
%\begin{lstlisting}[gobble=1,numbers=none]
%\defbeamertemplate{itemize item}{square}{\hbox{\vrule width 2ex height 2ex}}
%\end{lstlisting}
%then beamer will give the following unhelpful
%error message
%\begin{lstlisting}[gobble=1,numbers=none,backgroundcolor=\color{blue!30},frame=none,framexleftmargin=1mm]
%./test.tex:4: LaTeX Error: Command \beamer@@tmpop@itemize item@square already d
%efined.
%               Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.
%
%See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
%Type  H &lt;return&gt;  for immediate help.
% ...                                              
%                                                  
%l.4 \begin
%          {document}
%? 
%\end{lstlisting}
%and one is puzzled as what to do. 
%
%beamer does not provide a control sequence for redefining a 
%predefined beamer template. One way to get around this issue
%is to undefine the control sequence shown above and then to redefine 
%the beamer template using the control sequence \Lcs{defbeamertemplate}. But this is 
%really ugly and unpleasant.
%
%Of course, this is just a silly example for illustrating the issue. I found
%myself redefining a lot of predefined beamer templates in my 
%\textsf{bidi}\footnote{\url{https://ctan.org/pkg/bidi}} package and the 
%workaround above is just ugly and painful.
%
%The \textsf{beamertools} package solves this exact issue. It provides a
%control sequence for redefining a predefined beamer template and 
%unlike beamer unhelpful error message, it provides an informative
%error message if the beamer template you are trying to redefine is not
%predefined.
%
%
%\section{Using the package}
%\subsection{Loading The Package}
%You can load the package in the ordinary way:
%\begin{BDef}
%\Lcs{usepackage}\Largb{beamertools}
%\end{BDef}
%\subsection{The user interface}
%The packages provides the control sequence \Lcs{redefbeamertemplate} for redefining a predefined beamer template and has exactly the same syntax as the control sequence
%\Lcs{defbeamertemplate} that beamer provides.
