That would require auditing all of Autoconf, and all the macros in 
Gnulib and/or whereever else you get your macros from, so that the shell 
scripts generated are safe to use with those options enabled. This would 
be a useful project for someone to do, although it would take some time 
and of course it should be optional (so we don't break existing 
scripts). Is that something you have the time for?
