 You might only allow defaults to be added to the end, or you

-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.

 Conditional sections (same as "ifeq" etc in make).
