   The following line is from a makefile accepted by gmake:   
      
   onefile: $(AVAR)   
      
   I'm wondering what the ramification are of lexing what's on the right of the   
   colon as a single string and then breaking it apart later, as opposed to   
   returning a more detailed sequence of tokens, such as DOLLAR LPAREN NAME   
   RPAREN.   
      
   gmake appears to do the former, I'm guessing because it means a simpler   
   grammar but that seems like just postponing the hard work until later.   
      
   Cordially,
