That could well be, but it was never documented and it's not clear to me what the semantics would be. Are arbitrary characters allowed in the macro name? Surely not. What happens if we have AC_DEFINE([NAME(x)], ...) followed by AC_DEFINE([NAME(y)], ...) followed by AC_DEFINE([NAME], ...)? None of this stuff seems clear to me at all, with the old version. I'm open to having it be supported, but if so, these loose ends would need to be tied down, and the feature would need to be documented. (The hard part is probably the documentation....)
