Hello,
when Dan Manthey was writing his ingenious implementation of multiline
substitutions, my pesky comments "what if the user does AC_SUBST(ac_delim)"
has made him to include a special check for this.
I deleted that check now. See the attached patch.
First, the check was buggy anyway: it contained s/ac_delim/ instead of
s/@ac_delim@/
Second, I think this check is making the code less readable.
It would be better to call
AC_FATAL([[Do not AC_SUBST([ac_delim]).]])
directly from AC_SUBST.
But I think the check is not necessary at all; ac_* variables are internal,
so you should not be surprised that things explode when you touch them.
Have a nice day,
Stepan
