Follow-up Comment #2, patch #10282 (project libtool):
Thanks for the report and patch.
Did you test to see if the new pattern still works with `grep` < 3.8 by any
chance?
Just to check my understanding here: the intention of `[[-]]L` is to escape
`"[-]L"` in M4, taking advantage of the old `grep "[-]-not-an-option";` trick
to force grep to recognize argument 1 as a pattern rather than a flag? This
one makes sense to me.
The one I didn't totally understand was removing the `@<:@` handler; mostly
because I don't remember the context off hand.
