i was thinking that using a named diversion plus a range of positive offsets
would be useful, but not sure if that's doable with m4.
i.e. create a named diversion USER and then people do divert(USER + 1),
divert(USER + 10), etc...
the trouble with the current named diversions is that they all look like
they're reserved for different 'internal' autotool usage.
