+In case of a dependency chain, if the chain ends with a colon (\c{:}), then
+the block applies to the last set of prerequisites. Otherwise, it applies to
+the last set of targets. For example:

-./: exe{test}: libue{test}: cxx{test}
+./: exe{test}: cxx{main}
+{
+  test = true        # Applies to the exe{test} target.

 {
   bin.whole = false  # Applies to the libue{test} prerequisite.
