Hi Zack, I've updated the patch to address your comments: 1) Added a testsuite. 2) Added the comment. 3) Improved the regex. (Thanks for the heads up about M4 greedy regex.) I've attached the revised patch. Hopefully this still trivial enough to not need a copyright assignment, since I cribbed most of the new tests from elsewhere in m4sh.at and local.at. If an assignment is required let me know; happy to provide it. regards, Luke.
