Thanks for the report.  Yes, double-quoting the first argument of translit
would make the macro more robust.  But this particular example was drawn
from a real-life example (on the gnulib list), where single-quoting was
sufficient for that context, under the assumption that no one will use the
macro on a C function name that collides with a macro name.  So I'm
debating between changing the example in situ, vs. adding a link to
another section in the final chapter on improved examples, to further
discuss that issue.  Either way, would you care to prepare such a patch to
the manual?

You could have at least narrowed in on the particular section you were
referring to:
