If anyone asked for my opinion, I'd say that I'd prefer to see this
syntax stamped out instead; it's unnecessary, confusing, and has been
considered obsolete for decades. A quick look over my workstation's
filesystems shows just a few uses: in texconfig, libtool, something in
X11/config, maybe a handful more.
I'm not sure what the best answer is in practice, but I'm willing to
spend some of my time working on it if that helps.
Be well.
