According to Ralf Wildenhues on 3/20/2008 12:17 PM:
| Hello,

| in the order they are encountered in configure.ac?

Primarily?  Always!  M4 traces are output in the order encountered (but
note that nested macros are traced during argument collection, prior to
the trace of the macro they are feeding).

Speaking of traces, there's a TODO mentioned in the autoconf sources that
m4 can't trace macros called via 'indir'.  I've fixed it in the argv_ref
branch of m4.
