i would like to figure out how to make this work:

3.1 Macro names
===============
A name is any sequence of letters, digits, and the character `_'
(underscore), where the first character is not a digit. `m4' will use
the longest such sequence found in the input. If a name has a macro
definition, it will be subject to macro expansion (*note Macros::).
Names are case-sensitive.
Examples of legal names are: `foo', `_tmp', and `name01'.
