I agree we are less likely to define a rule from automake per se, but
the goal is to have everything converge. Ultimately, these guys would
be the constructors of macros and rules, that's why I chose so simple
and direct names.
Most of my work underway is a unification of the various places where
macros and rules are defined. These two guys, macro_define,
rule_define, are changing, gaining in generality etc.
