If one didn't pay attention to the rest of the message that I wrote, I
suppose that one might reach that conclusion.  But I agree that it
would be an absurd conclusion.  The code example that I gave works
fine with existing Autoconf versions and with C89 (and even K&R)
compilers.  Code like that has run in GNU Emacs for many years.
