-As a consequence, if a macro takes two or more arguments, and you want
-to pass an argument with the Texinfo command @code{@@,} (to produce a
-cedilla, @pxref{Inserting Accents}), you have to use @code{@@value} or
-another work-around.  Otherwise, @TeX{} takes the comma as separating
-the arguments.  Example:
-
address@hidden
-@@macro address@hidden, address@hidden
-\argfirst\+\argsecond\.
-@@end macro
-@@set fc Fran@@,cois
-@@address@hidden@@address@hidden@address@hidden
address@hidden example

address@hidden produces:

address@hidden
-Fran@,cois+.

-The natural-seeming @code{@@address@hidden@@,address@hidden passes the two
-arguments @samp{Fran@@} and @samp{cois} to the macro, and nothing good
-results.  And, as just mentioned, although the comma can be escaped
-with a backslash for @code{makeinfo} (@samp{@@\,}), that doesn't work
-in @TeX{}, so there is no other solution.
