Note that it's Peter the one who should have most of the credit, since
he was the one who set things in motion, wrote all of the code and
documentation (I basically just added tests and did very minor tweaks),
and put up with my nitpicks and bikeshedding. So thanks Peter! And
of course, thanks to anyone else who has contributed feedback and
suggestions.

By chance, do you plan to start using the feature in some package of
yours, even before it lands in a released Automake version? I'm asking
because it could be some months before the next minor (non-bug-fixing)
Automake release.
Best regards,
