The * was just a wildcard so Mac* means MacM and Mac.

A brief summary
MacM is defined in main.org - and expands in this file.
Mac is defined in sub.org - but neither MacM or Mac works in sub.org.

With my patch MacM works in both files, but Mac don't work - not a
problem for me - but not nice.

Best regards
