-     future versions of GNU M4, we unset POSIXLY_CORRECT here.

-     FIXME: A user might set POSIXLY_CORRECT to affect processes run from
-     macros like m4_syscmd in a custom skeleton.  For now, Bison makes no
-     promises about the behavior of custom skeletons, so this scenario is not a
-     concern.  However, we eventually want to eliminate this shortcoming.  The

-     option as a no-op, and later releases will accept it to indicate that
-     POSIXLY_CORRECT should be ignored.  Once the GNU M4 versions that accept
-     -g are pervasive, Bison should use -g instead of unsetting
-     POSIXLY_CORRECT.
