m4 changequote problem

[Mauri Järvinen]

Hi

I would like to change the m4 quote characters to ``' and `´'.

The changequote info page says:


The default quote delimiters can be changed with the builtin
`changequote':

      changequote(opt START, opt END)

where START is the new start-quote delimiter and END is the new
end-quote delimiter.  If any of the arguments are missing, the default 
quotes (``' and `'') are used instead of the void arguments.



So I figured that if I leave out the first argument, the default 
opening quote (``') would be used instead of it:

changequote(, ´)dnl
define(`TestIt´, `$1´)dnl
TestIt(`no´)
=> TestIt(`no´)

changequote(, ´)dnl
define(TestIt, `$1´)dnl
TestIt(`no´)
=> ``no´´

Not what I expected.
So then I tried to accomplish it by trickery:

changequote([, ])dnl
changequote(`, ´)dnl
define(`TestIt´, `$1´)dnl
TestIt(`no´)

Now I get an error message:
NONE:0: m4: ERROR: EOF in string

The same thing happens when I replace the 3rd line in the above with:
define(TestIt, `$1´)dnl

I also tried:

changequote(`, ´)dnl
define(`TestIt´, `$1´)dnl
TestIt(`no´)

And the same error message ensues.

So, is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish?

TIA
