but a rule should be formed by a line not starting with tab, followed
by several lines which do start with tab.
Otherwise, make complains. Observe:
$ printf '\ta:\n\techo x\n'|make -f -
/tmp/GmbxV37f:1: *** commands commence before first target. Stop.
The current parser recognizes the first line of the example above as
variable assignment, so it should then complain about "commands without
any target".
Have a nice day,
