# The ${.TARGET} correctly expands to the target name, even though the
# commands are run separately from the main commands.

# The dots cannot be prefixed by the usual @-+ characters.
# They must be written exactly as dots.

# Since the shell command lines don't recognize '#' as comment character,
# the "..." is not interpreted specially here.

# The dots don't have to be written literally, they can also come from an
# expression.

# thus does not defer the command below it.
