This workaround works in TeX, which I didn't expect -- I admit that I
didn't even try, despite the documentation -- but, unsurprisingly, eats
away all the text after the macro call with makeinfo.
Of course my real definitions are much more complex, and I don't want to
define the TeX and non-TeX version of each single macro.

I've not completely understood how -E works. Anyway, (b) definitely
feels like the right thing. Ok, the time has come for me to really
learn m4.
Thanks for answering,
