M4 uses balanced quotes; Autoconf sets the quotes to [ and ]. Quotes are 
only stripped when needed in m4, so as long as the definition is 
correctly quoted, any embedded [ and ] will be passed through, provided 
that they balance.

If you need unbalanced [ or ], that is why Autoconf has quadrigraphs...
