> Curious, why is this recommended? There are several reasons. First, it makes macros more maintainable, as splitting C code into several small source files does. Secondly, it allows to use macro versioning with reasonable granulation (because the #serial keyword affects the entire m4 source).
Thank you for the explanation, even though I don't think either convinces me entierly--and I was just asking don't have anything against the change. The one about #serial is a good reason, but I think it should be done on a per AC_DEFUN basis instead.
