[PATCH] add directive to enter/leave alternate macro mode

[Jan Beulich]

Hmm, I'm not sure here. doc/as.texinfo contains references to alternate
macro mode, but only enclosed in an @ignore/@end ignore block, which I
understand prevents this from making it into the generated doc.
Additionally, this fragment refers a command line options -a and
--alternate, which don't exist (or to be exact, the short option has a
different meaning, the long one doesn't exist). So the question for me
would be why this is hidden at present, and if it is for a reason, then
there would be little point in documenting the directive without
consolidating this.

This patch would seem to need some documentation.
