\N{This chapter is a work in progress and is incomplete.}
+The only currently recognized target attribute is \c{rule_hint} which
+specifies the rule hint. Rule hints can be used to resolve ambiguity when
+multiple rules match the same target as well as to override an unambiguous

+linked with the C++ compiler even though it only has C sources:
+
+\
+[rule_hint=cxx] exe{hello}: c{hello}
