Re: Macro + diversion issue

[Daniel Richard G.]

In fact, it's a fairly simple patch. See attached for my stab at it. (Also, 
there's a more straightforward test input file.) I did the two-arg 
divert(), since that seems more natural than coming up with a new/separate 
builtin for this.

I think this fills a hole in the core m4 feature set---right now, as I 
understand it, the only way to send text to a diversion is at the point 
when the text is actually being written out. With this, you can send text 
to a diversion in the same way that errprint() sends text to stderr: 
immediately upon evaluation of the builtin. Without regard to the invoking 
context.
