What is confusing about M4.. sure, the language is a bit opaque, but you don't have to write it in normal usage. Buggy M4 symbols are still buggy with the new system, it is just less flexible for generating footprints on the fly. The only benefit seen, is that since the footprints are converted one by one, you don't see bugs relating to variables which are set and left lying around during the M4 invocation.
