I remember that using @<:@ in AS_HELP_STRING was wrong because
that macros count the number of characters in its arguments to
reformat the string; so @<:@ is counted as 4 characters but
output as one.
Did this ever change? If not, I think this should not be shown in the manual.

In fact I think there is no point in writing things like
"default=disabled" or "default=enabled". Simply showing the
option form (--without or --with) that is not the default looks
clear enough to me.
