Re: makeinfo -E keeps @macro

[Karl Berry]

    Maybe this is wanted, but makeinfo -E keep @macro definitions in the 

Yes, it's wanted, and yes, it's strange.  Here's my comment from
makeinfo/macro.c about it:

      /* Bizarrely, output the @macro itself.  This is so texinfo.tex
         will have a chance to read it when texi2dvi calls makeinfo -E.
         The problem is that we don't really expand macros in all
         contexts; a @table's @item is one.  And a fix is not obvious to
         me, since it appears virtually identical to any other internal
         expansion.  Just setting a variable in cm_item caused other
         strange expansion problems.  */
