The problem is that "bla)" has a closing-paren character, and the
Emacs's sexp machinery doesn't seem to take into account what the
closing paren character is in these circumstances -- just that there's a
closing paren?
You see this all over the place in Emacs, but fortunately not many
languages use closing-parens like that.
Does anybody know whether there's any convenient way to fix the problem
here in m4-mode?
