That is a working solution. However what happens is that the makename macro would be defined incorrectly, . local makename "AMC Concord" "AMC Pacer" "Buick LeSabre" "Cad. Deville" . di `"`makename'"' AMC Concord" "AMC Pacer" "Buick LeSabre" "Cad. Deville and you are fixing it at the point-of-use. This means that if the macro is used at several points, you will need to be careful at each of them. Fixing at at point-of-declare involves same amount of effort, but then allows working carelessly later on.
