Hi Eric,

Thanks for the longer explanations. It really makes clear that a "rescanning"
process occurs - something which helps understanding m4.

Here are two minor tweaks of the text, to make it clear that

  - the capitalization occurred in both cases, only at different moments.

Bruno

 Now for a corrected approach.  This rearranges the use of newlines and

 to shell scripts, can be visually unappealing), and fixes the quoting
