Following are two proposals for extensions to GNU-make. I don't know how one
usually get things added to GNU-make so I thought I would post to this group
and solicit comments. Both proposals are related but are not alternatives as
both could be implemented.

AIM:
At the moment, macros defined in the Makefile are converted to environment
variables which are inherited by commands run as part of a rule. These
macros are not expanded. For example:
ONE = 1
TWO = $(TWO) [sic]
THREE = $@
test:
env
[...]
You could just do
test:
ONE=$(ONE) TWO=$(TWO) THREE=$(THREE) env
This also makes it obvious that these variables are used by the commands.
