In the name of the lord, Guido, please don't over-react now!
Do you realize what you are doing? If you put meta-data into
a _different_ file, presumably one that isn't even
distributed with the m4 sources, then I won't be able to
copy any macros macros from your site!

I sat down and built that cool synchronization mechanism
that synchronizes your efforts into my CVS repository, and
now you intend to break it?

What am I supposed to do now? Do you want me to categorize,
edit, and maintain all those macros myself?

I tell you, if you take the meta-data out of the m4 sources,
then ... uh, then ... well, then I can't do shit about it.

Perplexing, isn't it?
