Libtool uses it, too. I think it's a really old interface, and even if
undocumented, should be assumed to be used. I don't think it is
possible to drop it in real-world configure scripts, and it won't speed
up real-world examples either.
I think a recent report on bug-gnulib shows that even gnulib-tool would
need as_me, really.
