        // Similarly, --update-{include,exclude} are handled ad hoc and must
        // be literals, similar to the -- separator. They specify prerequisite
        // targets/patterns to include/exclude (from the static prerequisite
        // set) for update during match (those excluded will be updated during
        // execute). The order in which these options are specified is
        // significant with the first target/pattern that matches determining
        // the result. If only the --update-include options are specified,
        // then only the explicitly included prerequisites will be updated.
        // Otherwise, all prerequisites that are not explicitly excluded will
        // be updated. If none of these options is specified, then all the
        // static prerequisites are updated during match. Note also that these
        // options do not apply to ad hoc prerequisites which are always
        // updated during match.
        //
        // Note that in the future we may extend --cwd support to the non-
        // byproduct mode where it will also have the `env --cwd` semantics
        // (thus the matching name). Note that it will also be incompatible
        // with support for generated files (and thus -I) at least in the make
        // format where we use relative paths for non-existent files.
        //
        // Note on naming: whenever we (may) have two options, one for target
        // and the other for prerequisite, we omit "prerequisite" as that's
        // what we extract by default and most commonly. For example:
        //
        // --what          --what-target
        // --default-type  --default-target-type
        //
