Definitely.  In general using cpp for anything other than C/C++
preprocessing is a going to get you into trouble.  That's particularly
true with newer C preprocessors which are token-based.

Not that m4 doesn't have its own problems...


If you are doing some C thing, and don't need a char literal, just a
char expression, you can use STRINGIFY(x)[0].
