I have started to use FvwmM4 for some adaptive startup behaviour.
E.g. starting xterms with different fontsizes and geometries.
However, I found that all predefined macros include an extra set of
quotes. E.g. the predefined "WIDTH" expands to "`1600'". I find this
very undesirable since it is not possible to do arithmetic with quoted
numbers, e.g with ``m4_eval()''. I have patched FvwmM4 for my
purposes to omit those extra quotes.
Question: Has anybody got a big investment in FvwmM4's current
quoting behaviour or should it be changed to allow arithmetic in m4?
Or possibly: Am I missing something?
