Follow-up Comment #5, bug #60799 (project make):
> But my point is that $$ is NOT (intended to be) special to make. That's why
make doesn't do parentheses matching which it sees it.
Sure, we can adopt this stance and say no parentheses matching for $$. i am
not sure this behavior is the most useful make can offer.
Do you think this behavior is consistent from the user's point of view?
This works fine

You are right that the proposed patch adds parentheses matching and thus makes
$$ special. As far as i understood, you have a concern about making $$
special?
