| Yes, but this is *_UNQUOTED. If it can't possibly accept a third

I meant the AC_DEFINE family.
It cannot have ever *properly* worked. Pay attention that you're
referring to the creation of config.h.in.
Maybe AC_DEFINE(`echo FOO`) used to be understood by autoheader, but
it was a misfeature. In the general case, this cannot be done, hence
it must never work :)
What is the problem you are trying to address here? Although it is
normal to use a computed value, a computed *symbol* makes no real
sense (to me).
