Perfectly fine by me; I had pointed out the limitation only because I
wasn't sure whether it was a consciously accepted one, or the result
of an oversight. Your reply clarifies the matter perfectly.
But I leave you with a micro-nit (stress on "micro"): wouldn't it be
worthwhile to add a comment somewhere stating that syntax-checks are
only expected to work from non-VPATH builds?
