I guess you mean in single string arguments specifically? I can't think 
of other cases where you can't already wrap... if I am missing 
something, can you give an example?

Strings may already be partly solved by the new quoting feature, 
although I suppose the extra newlines that probably picks up are not 
desired. Within just a quoted string context I guess this shouldn't be 
too hard?

You can't have per-directory targets with the same name, generally. It 
may work with Makefile generators, but won't work with many others (e.g. 
Ninja, pretty sure MSVC). You can already have global custom targets in 
general.
