69          <command>m4</command> has built-in functions for including named
70          files, running Unix commands, performing integer arithmetic,
71          manipulating text, recursion, etc. The <command>m4</command>
72          program can be used either as a front-end to a compiler or as a
73          macro processor in its own right.</para>
