Details:
No bug, but something that has been on my wishlist for some 20 years:
In practically every Makefile I write, I want to parametrize rules with
multiple variables. It would be incredibly nice to have a shorthand syntax
for this, e.g.
progs = dot neato circo fdp
exts = emf ps png gif
%-$(p:progs).$(x:exts): %.dot
$(p) -T%(x) $? > $@
instead of having to use ugly, verbose workarounds such as foreach-eval-call.
