    My guess is that it is per-argument.  Maybe Karl can comment on that.

I couldn't get the current texinfo.tex to fail with newlines in the
arguments.  They come out as spaces or newlines, depending on the
environment.  Whether that's actually what one wants is another
question.  My little test file is below ... I don't doubt there are more
complicated cases where it might fail.

Anyway, I gather the practical problem is solved.  Glad for that.

\input texinfo
@setfilename mac-argnl.info

@macro mymac {a, b}
\a\ + \b\
@end macro

@example
Hello @mymac{uu,
vv}.
Hello @mymac{x
x,
yy}.
@end example
