    // we assume that the group and all its members are in the same
    // scope (for example, in variable lookup). We also don't support
    // nested groups.
    //
    // The semantics of the interaction between the group and its
    // members and what it means to, say, update the group, is
    // 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 alternative 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
    // default iteration mode for the group should be "see through";
    // that is, whether we see the members or the group itself. For
    // the iteration support itself, see the *_prerequisite_members()
