It is more accurate to say "where things don't conflict", because
we already know there's a few places where they will conflict... :-)

That reminds me of something though.  At one point (back in 2003)
the NetBSD folks asked on the bsd-api mailing list about adding a
type of simple array-processing ability to make.  Once we all agreed
on what it should look like, I believe they added it to their `make'.
At least at the time they asked, the new features did not conflict
with anything in our `make'.  It would be nice if we could add the
same features to our `make', too.

[I had intended to add it, but by the time the details were all
sorted out I was busy with some other projects]
