I didn't get it the first time either. But: the expansion of
AM_CONDITIONAL not only contains $1_TRUE and $1_FALSE, both of which are
AC_SUBSTed and thus ok to use, but also $1, namely in the error message:
AC_MSG_ERROR([[conditional "$1" was never defined. [...] ]])
This will flag the error. But can't this be solved much cheaper,
see below? It would still allow you to get all other uses flagged. :-)
I don't know if, for your purposes, @&t@ should rather be put after
every character, or only once after the first would suffice.
(If the general idea is deemed ok, I can write a test.)
Cheers,
Ralf
* m4/cond.m4 (AM_CONDITIONAL): Hide the plain `$1' from
m4_pattern_forbid by putting a `@&t@' in it.
