That would be me.
Notes:
- typo?
- The configure script is run to produce one or Makefile files from
Makefile.in files.

Important: The third argument is used when an option is
specified, and the fourth is used when an option is not
specified. A common misconception is that the third is enable
and the fourth is disable â this is not the case. You may
encounter packages that get this wrong.
The phrase "when an option is specified" is a bit ambiguous, especially
since it is later referred by the explanation of AC_ARG_WITH. I was not
sure if "option" in this case means "option" as in
"--enable-foo=OPTION". I was confused, because one paragarph before the
example you talk about "--enable-foo and --disable-foo *switches* to
./configure".
Maybe the above can be written as: âThe third argument is used when
either "--enable" or "--disable" is specified, and the fourth is used
when neither is specified.â Or you could simply stick to using
"switches" instead of "options"?

The first "@" is span.Special and the second one is span.Constant.
Good job by the way.
