> | THESE NOTES WILL BE REMOVED WITH THE FINAL 2.4 RELEASE, SINCE
THEY
> | REFER EXCLUSIVELY TO ADJUSTMENTS IN BEHAVIORS NEW BETWEEN 2.3
and
> | 2.4:
> |
> | Make MATCH generate empty strings for () subexpressions that
> | match nothing, rather than generating nothing at all.
> | Thanks to David Abrahams.

> | GLOB now applies the pattern to the directory-less filename,
> | rather than the whole path. Thanks to Niklaus Giger.
> |
> | Make Match rule do productized results, rather than
