Dear Brian Drummond,

In real life this is true. Nothing prevents one de merging
functionality like "make" into a compiler. GNATMake; JavaC; and
Borland Turbo C++ are examples.

|"(*) one of only two languages I've seen, where substituting multiple   |
|spaces for tabs will change the semantics. I suspect "make" was the     |
|inspiration for the other...                                            |

Ugh. What was that other language?
