 You might only allow defaults to be added to the end, or you
 might allow goals to be called with labelled parameters.
 
-Fix: You must use 'all ()' on the command line.

-"Quiet" code.  Generally {CODE} sections in user files should be
-echos, and those in stdlib should run silently (except if debugging).
-Maybe we should have a quiet keyword to indicate this?
-
 Deleting target files if goals is interrupted, but only if the
 timestamp changes (what about non-*files?).  Also: atomic code.  This
 will delete the target if the code doesn't run to completion.  (make
 doesn't do this, but probably it should).
 
-Implement parallel builds.
+Parallel builds: On failure, wait for other jobs to finish.
 
 Conditional sections (same as "ifeq" etc in make).

 Implement more make functions, see:

+Split "flags" strings.  eg. Currently there is no way to pass
+$CFLAGS from autoconf into a goalfile.

 Make re-execs itself if the Makefile (or any include) changes, and
 goals should do something similar.  See:
 https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Remaking-Makefiles.html
 
 Code should be an expression, eg this ought to work:
 let foo = { echo "hello" }
+and/or anonymous functions:
+let foo = function (arg) { ... }

+Infinite loop when you have this goal:
+goal pod2man (page, section) = "docs/%page.%section" : "docs/%page.pod" { ... }
+This is caused by %section matching "pod" so the rule is called
+again, even if the local file docs/%page.pod actually exists.

+Implement make-like “eval” function (similar to include directive,
+but it evaluates the output of a function as Goalfile syntax).
 
-Should the environment be populated by the actual environment, eg:
-let homedir = "%HOME"
+Implement make-like “origin” function.  This is easy but it requires
+us to track to the origin of definitions which we do not do at
+the moment.
