Yes, that would be nice.  Difficult to achieve though, unfortunately.
The piece of code that does the substitutions is in a hot path, i.e., 
any slowdowns there will be quite noticable to users.  You could get
into the habit of echoing the variables that you set, with combinations
of AC_MSG_CHECKING and AC_MSG_RESULT for example.
