Nice - you're also fixing an indentation error.  We aren't consistent on
whether error messages start with upper or lowercase, so I will overlook
that change.

But as long as you're touching the line, could you also change `' to be
''?  The former form looks awkward in modern type, and while it was
popular 20 years ago, nowadays it makes programs look dated (or
identifies you as a user of m4...).
