## Defining macros and name spaces. ##
## --------------------------------- ##
-# Name spaces.
-
-# Sometimes we want to disable some *set* of macros, and restore them
-# later. We provide support for this via name spaces.
-
-# There are basically three characters playing this scene: defining a
-# macro in a namespace, disabling a namespace, and restoring a namespace
-# (i.e., all the definitions it holds).
-
-# Technically, to define a MACRO in NAMESPACE means to define the
-# macro named `NAMESPACE::MACRO' to the VALUE. At the same time, we
-# append `undefine(NAME)' in the macro named `m4_disable(NAMESPACE)',
-# and similarly a binding of NAME to the value of `NAMESPACE::MACRO'
-# in `m4_enable(NAMESPACE)'. These mechanisms allow to bind the
-# macro of NAMESPACE and to unbind them at will.
-
-# Of course this implementation is not really efficient: m4 has to
-# grow strings which can become quickly huge, which slows it
-# significantly. A better implementation should be a list of the
-# symbols associated to the name space, and m4_enable?m4_disable
-# would just loop over this list. Unfortunately loops of active
-# symbols are extremely delicate in m4, and I'm still unsure of the
-# implementation I want. So, until we reach a perfect agreement on
-# foreach loops implementation, I prefer to use the brute force.
-
-# It should be noted that one should avoid as much as possible to use
-# `define' for temporaries. Now that `define' as quite a complex
-# meaning, it is an expensive operations that should be limited to
-# macros. Use `m4_define' for temporaries.
-
-# Private copies of the macros we used in entering / exiting the
-# libm4 name space. It is much more convenient than fighting with
-# the renamed version of define etc.
