Right. > Yes, AC_FOREACH is relatively widely used, but if it managed to escape > documentation for so long, we should accept its victory now. ;-) Did you mean "we should not accept its victory now"? Look, the chapter says: | You may completely skip this chapter if you are new to Autoconf. Its | intention is mainly to help maintainers updating their packages by | understanding how to move to more modern constructs. The fact that it is widely used is IMVHO a reason to mention it here, not against it: users should learn how to replace it correctly. It helps users to be certain that they can safely replace AC_FOREACH with m4_foreach_w. Would you agree? Cheers, Ralf
