As a special case, macros with a single argument lift these
limitations. From the Texinfo manual:
If the macro is defined to take a single argument, and is invoked
without any braces, the entire rest of the line after the macro name is
supplied as the argument. For example:
@macro bar {p}
Twice: \p\ & \p\.
@end macro
@bar aah
produces:
Twice: aah & aah.
This is precisely your case, right?
