The difference between the two names is a bit bothering, but looks
logical.  I'd like to have Alexandre's opinion on the principal macro
name...

This is wrong: $1 has no reason to be quoted here.  But I will fix this
when applying the patch, once we all agree on the name of the macro.

We stcik to `cannot', but I'll fix this when applying.
