On the other hand the term extension point sounds generic and appears
to accept anything the system operates on, like tasks, types, targets,
dependencies etc.

I think a more explicit term that has the word target in it would work better.

Sounds good.

Hi all,
I'm wondering if introducing a new name can be avoided alltogether.
What if depends="prefix*" meant depends on all targets that start with "prefix"?
For example:
Wouldn't that achieve the same effect?

but seems to imply that a buildfile represents a single "story" which
is not always the
