Autotest's AT_CLEANUP with parameter?

Hello,
  though AT_CLEANUP has not any documented parameters, the command

awk '/AT_CLEANUP/ &&
 !/^# .* AT_CLEANUP / &&
 $0 != "AT_CLEANUP" &&
 ! (FILENAME=="local.at" && $0=="AT_CLEANUP") { print FILENAME":"$0
}' *.at

find this:

foreign.at:AT_CLEANUP(install-sh ltconfig libtool at-path ltmain.sh
config.guess config.sub)
semantics.at:AT_CLEANUP([config.libobjs])
semantics.at:AT_CLEANUP([header1.h header2.h])
semantics.at:AT_CLEANUP([header1.h header2.h header3.h])
semantics.at:AT_CLEANUP(path)
semantics.at:AT_CLEANUP(at-endian)
semantics.at:AT_CLEANUP(path)
tools.at:AT_CLEANUP(configure.ac~)

It looks as if the author hoped that the macro will clean up the
listed files.  (Or perhaps check that they exist?)

I haven't done any research where this pattern was started...

Can any of the readers shed some light?  What was the intent?
How shall this be resolved?

Regards,
        Stepan
