You can also try the easier definition
.char " \\*[$QUOTE0]
for testing purposes.cdef_expand()
is responsible as far as I understand. Is this even supposed to be supported by Neatroff?
I am afraid not. The problem is that cdef_expand() calls ren_parse() which skips copy-mode interpretation (that is handling *, \n, \R, and ..; see cp.c).
To make it work, expanding character definitions must be done in cp.c instead of ren.c; see the end of ren_put(). I am not sure if it is a good idea or not.
