`all' is extra special: every directory has an `all'
target, which corresponds to &TARGETS.
+&:warn [!]WARNTAG ...
+ Suppress (with !) or re-enable (without !) warnings tagged
+ WARNTAG (see section `Warnings', below). The suppression list
+ is reset at the start of processing in each subdirectory.
+ Warnings that appear at the end of processing are controlled
+ by the final warning state after processing all the toplevel
+ input files (including Final.sd.mk).
+
+&:local+global [&]VARIABLE ...
+ Suppresses the warning about seeing both VARIABLE and
+ &VARIABLE. Any & specified in the RHS is redundant: this
+ always affects both versions identically.
+
&:changequote NEWQUOTE
changes the escape sequence from & to literally NEWQUOTE
NEWQUOTE may be any series of of non-whitespace characters,
(This assumes you have appropriate make variables src, PWD and
abs_src.)
+Warnings
+--------
+
+subdirmk's `generate' program, which does the acual &-substitution,
+can produce some warnings about your .sd.mk files. These can be
+suppressed with the &:warn directive. The warning tags are:
+
+ local+global
+ The same VARNAME was used both with and without an & prefix.
+ This can be confusing. Also, if you avoid this then you will
+ get a warning iff you accidentally leave off a needed &.
+ (You can suppress this warning for a particular VARNAME with
+ the &:local+global directive.)
+
+ single-char-var
+ A variable expansion like $FBAR. make's expansion rules
+ interpret this as $(F)BAR. It's normally better to write
+ it this way, at least if the variable expansion is followed
+ by more letters. Note that &$FOO works differently to
+ raw make: it expands to $(sub_dir_FOO).
+
+ unknown-warning
+ &:warn was used to try to enable a warning that this version
+ of subdirmk does not understand. (Note that an attempt to
+ *dis*able an unknown warning is only reported if some other
+ warning was issued which might have been disabled.)
