    // The semantics of the interaction between the group and its

    // unspecified and determined by the group's type. In particular,
    // a group can be created out of member types that have no idea
    // they are part of this group (e.g., cli.cxx{}).
    //
    // Normally, however, there are two kinds of groups: "alternatives"
    // and "combination". In an alternatives group, normally one of the
    // members is selected when the group is mentioned as a prerequisite
    // with, perhaps, an exception for special rules, like aliases, where
    // it makes more sense to treat the group as a whole. In this case we
    // say that the rule "semantically recognizes" the group and picks
    // some of its members.
    //
    // Updating an alternatives group as a whole can mean updating some
    // subset of its members (e.g., lib{}). Or the group may not support
    // this at all (e.g., obj{}).
    //
    // In a combination group, when a group is updated, normally all
    // members are updates (and usually with a single command), though
    // there could be some members that are omitted, depending on the
    // configuration (e.g., an inline file not/being generated). When
    // a combination group is mentioned as a prerequisite, the rule
    // is usually interested in the individual members rather than
    // the whole group. For example, a C++ compile rule would like to
    // "see" the ?xx{} members when it gets a cli.cxx{} group.
    //
    // Which brings us to the group iteration mode. The target type
    // contains a member called see_through that indicates whether the

  // The problem with man pages is this: different platforms have
  // different sets of sections. What seems to be the "sane" set
  // is 1-9 (Linux and BSDs). SysV (e.g., Solaris) instead maps
  // 8 to 1M (system administration). The section determines two
  // things: the directory where the page is installed (e.g.,
  // /usr/share/man/man1) as well as the extension of the file
  // (e.g., test.1). Note also that there could be sub-sections,
  // e.g., 1p (for POSIX). Such a page would still go into man1
  // but will have the .1p extension (at least that's what happens
  // on Linux). The challenge is to somehow handle this in a
  // portable manner. So here is the plan:
  //
  // First of all, we have the man{} target type which can be used
  // for a custom man page. That is, you can have any extension and
  // install it anywhere you please:
  //
  // man{foo.X}: install = man/manX
  //
  // Then we have man1..9{} target types which model the "sane"
  // section set and that would be automatically installed into
  // correct locations on other platforms. In other words, the
  // idea is that you should be able to have the foo.8 file,
  // write man8{foo} and have it installed as man1m/foo.1m on
  // some SysV host.
  //
  // Re-mapping the installation directory is easy: to help with
  // that we have assigned install.man1..9 directory names. The
  // messy part is to change the extension. It seems the only
  // way to do that would be to have special logic for man pages
  // in the generic install rule. @@ This is still a TODO.
  //
  // Note that handling subsections with man1..9{} is easy, we
  // simply specify the extension explicitly, e.g., man{foo.1p}.
