# Using the :? modifier, expressions can contain conditional
# expressions that are evaluated late, at expansion time.
#
# Any expressions appearing in these conditions are expanded before parsing
# the condition.  This is different from conditions in .if directives, where
# expressions are evaluated individually and only as far as necessary, see
# cond-short.mk.
#
# Because of this, variables that are used in these lazy conditions
# should not contain double-quotes, or the parser will probably fail.
#
# They should also not contain operators like == or <, since these are
# actually interpreted as these operators. This is demonstrated below.
