Good, that's also the solution Raja likes most.

Good too. Thanks for the quick responses. And I do agree one such
quadrigraph is certainly extremely useful (yet to output quadrigraphs
for instance... @<@""@:@ => @<:@).
I have another question though.
I implemented a QnD --normalize in autom4te because it was too hot
trying to build M4's test suite without a quick solution to preserve
multiple empty lines.
This solution is very dirty, as it was very quick :)
Typically, one can observe that the Autotest snippet contain useless
multiple empty lines, which are to be killed, while those in the test
values have to be kept.
So I would like to remove that --normalize, completely replaced with
@""@. Does it sound OK to everybody?
