What is confusing about M4.. sure, the language is a bit opaque, but you
don't have to write it in normal usage. Buggy M4 symbols are still buggy
with the new system, it is just less flexible for generating footprints
on the fly.

The only benefit seen, is that since the footprints are converted one by
one, you don't see bugs relating to variables which are set and left
lying around during the M4 invocation.
