Thanks for explanation.

Interesting.  Since aclocal doesn't do any tracing, the following could
work too:
m4_copy([AC_DEFUN], [LT_DEFUN])

> m4_defun and AC_REQUIRE don't play together,

Well, actually they do, as the AC_* macros are just an aliases, but
I see what you mean.

Yet another solution might be to m4_define the macros and then use
m4_expand_once.

But yes, m4_defun and m4_reauire should be documented, so there is no
need to change the current code.
