# Command lines can have one or more of the following three prefixes:
#
#   -       specifying that errors are ignored
#   @       specifying that the command is not printed to standard output before it is executed
#   +       the command is executed even if Make is invoked in a "do not execute" mode
#
#   https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Automatic-Variables.html
#   ${}     macro
#   $<      refers to the first prerequisite and
#   $@      refers to the target
#
#   target: component1 component2
#           echo $? contains those components, which need attention (i.e. they ARE YOUNGER than current TARGET).
#           echo $@ evaluates to current TARGET name from among those left of the colon.
