Thanks, I fixed that.

Is this stuff documented somewhere in the .texi files? If not, I suppose 
it should be.

Frankly I continue to be annoyed by having to read and write a line "# 
FILENAME.m4" at the start of every m4 file FILENAME.m4. It's better for 
a file's first line to be a human-readable comment explaining what the 
file is for. Any automated procedure already knows the file name, so why 
do we need to put the name there manually, an error-prone process?
