**Describe the bug**
I'd like to reuse a set of options between several macros.
```
%_options abc
%foo(%{_options}) ...
%bar(%{_options}) ...
%baz(%{_options}) ...
```
Unfortunately, this is not possible with RPM 4.20 or lower. The string is taken
literally. Using `%{expand:%{_options}}` makes no difference -- it just defines
options for `-e`, `-x`, `-p`...
Similarly, if I use an expression within, all charracters of that expression
are taken as literal values (e.g. `foo(%[1 ? "abc" : "def"])` allows all of
`-abcdef` but also e.g. `-?`, `-[` or `-"` as option.
**To Reproduce**
```
$ rpm --define '_options abc' --define 'foo(%{_options}) ...' --eval '%foo -a'
--eval '%foo -o'
```
**Expected behavior**
```
foo: invalid option -- 'o'
error: Unknown option a in foo(abc)
```
**Output (actual behavior)**
```
foo: invalid option -- 'a'
error: Unknown option a in foo(%{_options})
```
**Environment**
- OS / Distribution: Fedora 41 or older
- Version rpm-4.20.0-1.fc41 or older
