Re: [PATCH] @quote-args for multiple arguments

Hi Sergey,

    Or at least, for the sake of programs that use it, to issue a
    warning each time address@hidden is used

I agree.

    historically tar docs use both @allow-recursion and @quote-args, 

Ugh.  Someone knew too much :).  Why does the tar manual need recursive
macros?  (Just curious.)  @rmacro always seemed an awfully obscure and
complex feature to me.  Texinfo is supposed to be simple.

    it will be better to remove it (again, after some phasing-out period),
    making its behavior default.  What do you think?

Making its behavior the default sounds good to me.  At least, I can't
imagine any reason not to.  

So, would you have time to rework your patch to (1) make
@allow-recursion give a warning, and (2) make @quote-args the default?

Thanks,
karl
