This however ends up allowing + quite brittle setups, which, most importantly, are of no real + practical usefulness anyway. So it's better to just disallow + @substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS altogether, offering a clear + error message, instead of risking weird bugs and unexpected + behaviors in the generated Makefile.in. + * automake.in ($TEST_EXTENSION_PATTERN): Turned from a regular + expression ... + (is_valid_test_extension): ... into this subroutine.
