I didn't understand it either, but your guess does seem to make sense...

Actually, you could embed `mkdir -p <dirname>` in any command -- it gets
expanded but the result is an empty string. However the command does
run. :-)
Not sure how convenient this is, and likely it would mean that you end
up running lots of mkdir -p's on dirs that already exist. But, it might
not really matter, there probably wouldn't be much of a performance
impact.
