| Hi Eric,

Hi Ralf,

|
| FWIW, I think the use of different integer types for lenghts looks a bit
| messy in arg_print and the functions it calls.  This patch fixes the one
| incompatible type (which will do the wrong thing on x86_64) on
| branch-1_4.

Aargh.  Copy-n-paste bit me; where I modified the patch when porting to
head (which uses size_t consistently), then pulled those modifications
back to the branch (which, as you noticed, was mostly using int).  I think
I'll go one step further, and make the branch consistently use size_t for
- --arglength and truncation.

|
| It also renames obstack_print, to not clash with obstack.h's name space
| (I mistakenly thought at first that this was a function provided by the
| obstack module).

Reasonable idea, especially since a while ago, I discussed the idea of
porting glibc's obstack_printf to gnulib (but have not done so, to date).
~ But on the head, I named the comparable M4 function
m4_shipout_string_trunc rather than obstack_print, so maybe I'll use a
name along those lines.  I'll get something committed later today.

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
