  // Recipe execution mode.
  //
  // When a target is a prerequisite of another target, its recipe can be
  // executed before the dependent's recipe (the normal case) or after.
  // We will call these "front" and "back" execution modes, respectively
  // (think "the prerequisite is 'front-running' the dependent").
  //
  // There could also be several dependent targets and the prerequisite's
  // recipe can be execute as part of the first dependent (the normal
  // case) or last (or for all/some of them; see the recipe execution
  // protocol in <target>). We will call these "first" and "last"
  // execution modes, respectively.
  //
  // Now you may be having a hard time imagining where a mode other than
  // the normal one (first/front) could be useful. An the answer is,
  // compensating or inverse operations such as clean, uninstall, etc.
  // If we use the last/back mode for, say, clean, then we will remove
  // targets in the order inverse to the way they were updated. While
  // this sounds like an elegant idea, are there any practical benefits
  // of doing it this way. As it turns out there is (at least) one: when
  // we are removing a directory (see fsdir{}), we want to do it after
  // all the targets that depend on it (such as files, sub-directories)
  // were removed. If we do it before, then the directory won't be empty
  // yet.
  //
  // It appears that this execution mode is dictated by the essence of
  // the operation. Constructive operations (those that "do") seem to
  // naturally use the first/front mode. That is, we need to "do" the
  // prerequisite first before we can "do" the dependent. While the
  // destructive ones (those that "undo") seem to need last/back. That
  // is, we need to "undo" all the dependents before we can "undo" the
  // prerequisite (say, we need to remove all the files before we can
  // remove their directory).
  //
  // If you noticed the parallel with the way C++ construction and
  // destruction works for base/derived object then you earned a gold
  // star!
  //
  // Note that the front/back mode is realized in the dependen's recipe
  // (which is another indication that it is a property of the operation).
