Your macro was a good idea, but overbroad, and needs this followup patch.
Also, I noticed a couple of conflicts with copyright dates - for example,
in lib/dirname.h, where my patch spelled out "2003, 2004, 2005, 2006"
according to GNU coding standards, you changed it to "2003-2006". Is this
worth making consistent to coding standards, at least in the files that
will be synced back to gnulib?

Thanks for catching that.

* coreutils.texi (dirname invocation): Macro in previous patch
was too broad.
