Ick.  Poo.  And, you must mean:

>    return strchr( argv@<:@0@:>@, '@:>@' ) == NULL; }

since:

means just that.  I actually need to globally replace
all four knarly characters:  [ ] $ #
(now that I know about "Quadrigraphs" -- one step above
"trigraphs"!)

Methinks this amounts to another reason for generating
macros -- type in human readable:  strchr( argv[0], ']' )
and feed M4 the:  strchr( argv@<:@0@:>@, '@:>@' )
stuff.
