Thanks for the report. Yes, double-quoting the first argument of translit would make the macro more robust. But this particular example was drawn from a real-life example (on the gnulib list), where single-quoting was sufficient for that context, under the assumption that no one will use the macro on a C function name that collides with a macro name. So I'm debating between changing the example in situ, vs. adding a link to another section in the final chapter on improved examples, to further discuss that issue. Either way, would you care to prepare such a patch to the manual? > http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/manual/m4.html You could have at least narrowed in on the particular section you were referring to: http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/manual/m4.html#Input-processing -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
