    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The documentation contains the following information
<https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Goals.html#index-MAKECMDGOALS>:
“…
Make will set the special variable MAKECMDGOALS to the list of goals you
specified on the command line.
…”


I imagine that such a list can occasionally provide several elements. I would
find the presented example insufficient in this case because only a simple
string comparison is performed there.

* How should the specified goals be really checked in a safe way?
* Is another software extension needed for the make function library?
