dnl This file must be named something that sorts before all other
dnl gnulib-provided .m4 files.  It is needed until such time as we can
dnl assume Autoconf 2.64, with its improved AC_DEFUN_ONCE and
dnl m4_divert semantics.

# Until autoconf 2.63, handling of the diversion stack required m4_init
# to be called first; but this does not happen with aclocal.  Wrapping
# the entire execution in another layer of the diversion stack fixes this.
# Worse, prior to autoconf 2.62, m4_wrap depended on the underlying m4
# for whether it was FIFO or LIFO; in order to properly balance with
# m4_init, we need to undo our push just before anything wrapped within
# the m4_init body.  The way to ensure this is to wrap both sides of
# m4_init with a one-shot macro that does the pop at the right time.

# AC_DEFUN_ONCE([NAME], VALUE)
# ----------------------------
# Define NAME to expand to VALUE on the first use (whether by direct
# expansion, or by AC_REQUIRE), and to nothing on all subsequent uses.
# Avoid bugs in AC_REQUIRE in Autoconf 2.63 and earlier.  This
# definition is slower than the version in Autoconf 2.64, because it
# can only use interfaces that existed since 2.59; but it achieves the
# same effect.  Quoting is necessary to avoid confusing Automake.
