I can't find a record of it quickly ("mk" and "D" don't lend themselves to
helpful searches), but I feel like we had this conversation about a year
ago, no?
Summary, from my memory:
Some people would prefer it, others not. Keeping intermediaries and
failed targets around is often helpful for debu

in mk(1), why is the `D' flag (if the recipe exits with a non-null status, the
target is deleted) optional, rather than default?
