        // The project's effective internal scope is chosen based on the

        // In particular, item #3 allows an amalgamation that bundles a
        // project to override its internal scope.
        //
        // The recommended value for a typical project is `current`, meaning
        // that only headers inside the project will be considered internal.

        // project (which acts as a bundle amalgamation), unless it is being
        // built out of source (for example, to test an installed library).
        //
        // A project can also whitelist specific libraries using the
        // cxx.internal.libs variable. If a library target name (that is, the
        // name inside lib{}) matches any of the wildcard patterns listed in
        // this variable, then the library is considered internal regardless
        // of its location. For example (notice that the pattern is quoted):
        //
        //   # root.build
        //
        //   cxx.internal.scope = current
        //   cxx.internal.libs = foo 'bar-*'

        //   using cxx
        //
        // Note that this variable should also be set before loading the
        // cxx module and there is the common cc.internal.libs equivalent.
        // However, there are no config.* versions nor the override by the
        // bundle amalgamation semantics.
        //
        // Typically you would want to whitelist libraries that are developed

        // particular, a separate *-tests project for a library should
        // whitelist the library being tested if the internal scope

        // that is otherwise warning-free (see the MSVC /external:templates-
