I tried using 8 ampersands (&&&&&&&&). The code now works. It also works with
7, 6, and 5 ampersands. It does not work with 4, 3, or 2 ampersands, nor with 9
ampersands.
I find this pretty erratic behavior, especially since I wasn't even using
alternate macro mode at the relevant point, but if you feel this is not a bug,
then so be it.
However, I would like doubling ampersands to be documented, e.g.,
"To get an ampersand in the expansion of the macro, double it." in
(as.info)Macro.
I don't understand the interaction between .irp and & properly, so I can't give
a suggestion on how to document it.
