Now that the module api for CVS m4 has stabilized somewhat, why don't you have
a go at writing a C module to implement the semantics you need?

I suspect that what you want reaches deeper into the internals of m4 than the
module api allows, but if you find anything of that nature do post back here,
and I'll try and work something out before 2.0 is set free.

Cheers,
        Gary.
