Sounds good to me. But are the `:' separators mandatory, or can we
just choose any expansion to a given macro? For example, we could
make it like this:
autoconf --trace 'AC_SUBST=some-junk $1 some-garbage'
So as to get:
some-junk prefix some-garbage
We could replace the m4trace prefix with define()s of, say, `FILE' and
`LINENO', and leave it up to the user to place FILE or LINENO in the
intended expansion, that, in the example above, would be defined as:
define([AC_SUBST], [some-junk $1 some-garbage])
