This looks good to me.  Unfortunately it is long enough to require
paperwork before I can check it in.

How important is this?  I'm considering rewriting the patch so that
unquote_m4_arg simply uses a regexp.  Then I think I can check it in
immediately.

I agree a function like this would be very useful.  Sometimes
seemingly obvious helper functions go unimplemented for no good reason
(historical usually).  For instance Akim's recent addition of
`transform' -- wish I'd had that a long time ago.
