Hi Noel, > Since there is a workaround, simplifying GNU make in this respect > isn't worth it.
Speaking of workaround, having the following implicit rule
%/. :
@mkdir $*
you cannot just write
foo : bar/
instead you will have to write
foo : bar/.
which is quite ugly and unnatural. It is one story to write something
ugly in implicit rule (once) and the other to ask users of your implicit
rule to write something ugly (many times).
