Maybe I'm going blind, but it seems that AC_PROVIDE and
AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE are not documented in the Autoconf manual. AC_PROVIDE
is mentioned but not described.  AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE is not mentioned.

$ grep -n AC_PROVIDE autoconf.texi
autoconf.texi:14935:@code{AC_DEFUN} or else contain a call to @code{AC_PROVIDE} to indicate
autoconf.texi:15158:@code{AC_DEFUN} or else contain a call to @code{AC_PROVIDE} to indicate
autoconf.texi:24975:@code{AC_PROVIDE} and ensures that macros called via @code{AC_REQUIRE}
