Allow more than one % / $*

[Dan Jacobson]

(info "(make) Pattern Match") mentions % and $*.
It seems it would be quite useful to remove the artificial limit of a
single %. Then one could use e.g.,

%{1}.x.%{2}.y:%{1}.b.%{2}.c
        ... $*{1} ...  $*{2} #or however they should be written
Sure, "just move your %{1} and %{2} next to each other, and then you
can just use %." Yes, but that's not always convenient.
