	* macro.c (new_formal, del_formal): New.
	(do_formals): Use new_formal. Check for and parse qualifier. Warn if
	required argument has default value. Stop looking for more formal
	when there was a vararg one.
	(macro_expand_body): Use new_formal and del_formal.
	(macro_expand): Likewise. Initialize local variable err. Don't
	return immediately when encountering an error. Warn when keyword
	argument already had a value assigned. Eliminate duplicate clearing
	of argument value. When current positional argument matches parameter
	of vararg type, assign to it all the remaining arguments. Issue error
	when required parameter does not have value.
	(free_macro): Use del_formal.
	(expand_irp): Initialize formal type. Free buffers associated with
	formal prior to returning.
	* macro.h (struct formal_struct): Add new field 'type' with new
	enumeration type 'formal_type'.
	* doc/as.texinfo: Document macro parameter qualifiers.
	* NEWS: Mention new functionality.

+* Macros with a variable number of arguments are now supported. See the
+  documentation for how this works.

 * Added --reduce-memory-overheads switch to reduce the size of the hash
   tables used, at the expense of longer assembly times, and
   --hash-size=<NUMBER> to set the size of the hash tables used by gas.
