It's clear that the pattern matching doesn't work- if it did, I wouldn't be 
asking this list.  My question is /why/ this isn't working.  It's not clear 
to me why this fails to work while suffix matching for defining my own 
implicit rules works.  --v

How would one refer to the target before having matched any rules?  Does the 
builtin $@ get set?
