Based on the documentation, I expected
m4_for([i], [1], [5000], [[a]])
to be identical to
m4_for([i], [1], [5000], [], [[a]])
with both forms printing 5000 a's. However, m4_for currently does not
take $# into consideration, and the former form resulted in an error due
to trying to treat [[a]] as the step size with an empty expression, rather
than realizing that the step size was omitted. Is it worth my time
providing a patch for this?
