Add support for prepend/append in target type/pattern-specific vars
Semantically, these are similar to variable overrides and are essentially treated as "templates" that are applied on lookup to the "stem" value that is specific to the target type/name. For example: x = [string] a file{f*}: x =+ b sub/: { file{*}: x += c print $(file{foo}:x) # abc print $(file{bar}:x) # ac }
