Follow-up Comment #5, bug #45311 (project make):
We'd have to ask Roland or RMS; that behavior was already present when I first
started using GNU make, IIRC, and I'm not sure where it originated.
I think the idea that you can generate multiple outputs with a single command
is a very important capability, but I agree the current implementation (where
patterns and explicit targets work in opposite ways, and you can't get the
"other" way) is not ideal.
