-# In addition, we want to use the expansion stack to detect circular

-# implementation, and certainly for the benefit of performances, we

-# circular dependency.
-#
-# To improve the diagnostic, in addition to keeping track of the stack
-# of macro calls, m4_expansion_stack also records the m4_require
-# stack. Note that therefore an m4_defun'd macro being required will
-# appear twice in the stack: the first time because it is required,
-# the second because it is expanded. We can avoid this, but it has
-# two small drawbacks: (i) the implementation is slightly more
-# complex, and (ii) it hides the difference between define'd macros

-# (which do). The more debugging information, the better.

+## 15. Set handling. ##
+## ------------------ ##
+
+# Autoconf likes to create arbitrarily large sets; for example, as of
+# this writing, the configure.ac for coreutils tracks a set of more
+# than 400 AC_SUBST. How do we track all of these set members,
+# without introducing duplicates? We could use m4_append_uniq, with
+# the set NAME residing in the contents of the macro NAME.
+# Unfortunately, m4_append_uniq is quadratic for set creation, because
+# it costs O(n) to search the string for each of O(n) insertions; not
+# to mention that with m4 1.4.x, even using m4_append is slow, costing
+# O(n) rather than O(1) per insertion. Other set operations, not used
+# by Autoconf but still possible by manipulation of the definition
+# tracked in macro NAME, include O(n) deletion of one element and O(n)
+# computation of set size. Because the set is exposed to the user via
+# the definition of a single macro, we cannot cache any data about the
+# set without risking the cache being invalidated by the user
+# redefining NAME.
+#
+# Can we do better? Yes, because m4 gives us an O(1) search function
+# for free: ifdef. Additionally, even m4 1.4.x gives us an O(1)
+# insert operation for free: pushdef. But to use these, we must
+# represent the set via a group of macros; to keep the set consistent,
+# we must hide the set so that the user can only manipulate it through
+# accessor macros. The contents of the set are maintained through two
+# access points; _m4_set([name]) is a pushdef stack of values in the
+# set, useful for O(n) traversal of the set contents; while the
+# existence of _m4_set([name],value) with no particular value is
+# useful for O(1) querying of set membership. And since the user
+# cannot externally manipulate the set, we are free to add additional
+# caching macros for other performance improvements. Deletion can be
+# O(1) per element rather than O(n), by reworking the definition of
+# _m4_set([name],value) to be 0 or 1 based on current membership, and
+# adding _m4_set_cleanup(name) to defer the O(n) cleanup of
+# _m4_set([name]) until we have another reason to do an O(n)
+# traversal. The existence of _m4_set_cleanup(name) can then be used
+# elsewhere to determine if we must dereference _m4_set([name],value),
+# or assume that definition implies set membership. Finally, size can
+# be tracked in an O(1) fashion with _m4_set_size(name).
+#
+# The quoting in _m4_set([name],value) is chosen so that there is no
+# ambiguity with a set whose name contains a comma, and so that we can
