RE: Forbidden strings

Hello!

I'm removing address@hidden from Cc: - they are just victims of our

Very good point.

How about adding an option to autoconf - strictness when checking for
unexpanded macros?

The testsuite should be very strict while for normal users only A[CM]_
will be forbidden.

Autoconf could also check configure with "sh -n" - it may be more
effective than scanning for macros, although some constructs will not be
caught.
