s/^m4trace:\([^:]*\):\([^:]*\): -[0-9]*- \([^(]*(\)\(.*\)$/\3[\1], [\2], \4/
This looks like a good idea to me. I would improve it slightly by
making it more specific, e.g.
s/^m4trace:\([^:][^:]*\):\([0-9][0-9]*\): -[0-9][0-9]*-
\([A-Z_a-z][0-9A-Z_a-z]*(\)\(.*\)$/\3[\1], [\2], \4/
Now if this idea is accepted, the question will be that of the format
of the request. It can be directly the definition in m4,
autoconf --trace AC_SUBST($1:$3)
to ask just for the line number and the variable, separated with a colon.
This sounds good, but I didn't follow that example. Why is $1 the
line number and $3 the variable?
