no. It is declared "obsolete" in Autoconf CVS.

I'm not sure. Inside Autoconf tree, I use m4_foreach_w
("w" as "whitespace-sparated" or "words"). But I'm not sure it's the
best possible name.
The definition is
m4_foreach([$1], m4_split(m4_normalize([$2])), [$3])
Paul proposed to use that as a pattern. If you are happy with his
proposal, you can use it.
m4_foreach, m4_split, and m4_normalize are stable; patch documenting
them would be most welcome.
If you are not happy with using the above as a pattern, we can freeze
and document m4_foreach_w, if Paul agrees.
Hope this helps.
Stepan
