Non parametric macro inconsistency

[mlschroe]

I stumbled over this:

$ rpm --eval '%{?_libdir:foo}'
foo
$ rpm --eval '%{_libdir:foo}'
/usr/lib64

Should those two both return foo?

There are good reasons to leave it the way it is, I just wanted to point out that there's a somewhat undocumented difference.

Why should the latter return anything else than an error (or at least issue a warning)?
It's passing arguments to a non-parametric macro so it seems only right to ignore the argument and return the macro value instead.

True. I'm fine with leaving it the way it is.
