See discussion in this mailing list thread from July:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2024-07/msg00003.html
Zack Weinberg said he'd think about how to make this happen:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2024-07/msg00006.html
(just moving this to a Savannah issue in the hopes that it'll be better
tracked here, and plus I'm not subscribed to bug-autoconf anyways, so I don't
necessarily receive replies to it unless people remember to CC me)
(also distributing the m4.m4 file with the rest of autoconf's macro files
might be worthwhile, too, so that users can have the AC_PROG_GNU_M4 macro
available for their own use)
