Of course!
It is very difficult to indent Autoconf and m4 properly in my opinion
since Emacs cannot really highlight matching parentheses/brackets
correctly. I assume this is because C/Shell snippets inside of macros
can have ')' or ']' which will be interpreted as matching the previous
opening '(' or ']'.
Maybe there is a trick that I am missing to keep track of indentation?
Or just lack of experience writing Autoconf and m4?
