But in the long run, it's a lot easier to maintain.  When I took over the
m4 documentation for m4 1.4.5, that's exactly what I did - converted all
4-argument @nodes to single arguments.  After that, adding, reordering,
renaming, or removing sections (all of which I have done between m4 1.4.5
and m4 1.4.9) become much simpler.
