Hm, right, but it is so common, that providing a means to shorten the
configure.in would be welcome.  AC_SUBST is cost less indeed, they
don't need to document.  AC_DEFINE is painful: you have to set the
value, and give the doc string.

About AC_SUBST, I always wondered why we don't have

AC_SUBST(Var, Val)

equivalent to

Var=Val
AC_SUBST(Var)

?
