I'll have to think about this. The complication is how to handle a deeply nested stream, the api is highly stateful, and I'm not sure how to go about it....

So there's two things I see that make this really difficult: 1) the statefulness of the API, and the fact that a given subobject doesn't know whether it's a subobject,...

Yes, having another build system (probably Makefile and/or autotools) to bootstrap is on the list of things to do, with the goal being a stage 1, which can be used...

To make this more complicated than when I first wrote the issue, we have a `range()` function now, which means that while the number of iterations of a foreach loop...

I think for a first pass we just want to unroll. That might require some reworking for more complicated situations, but this should be sufficient for self-hosting, and for most...

Tools could agree to put them in tool specific buckets just as easily as an in X-, the real advantage is that then you can say that nothing can go...

I guess my thought is that X- always become a standard anyway, even if just a defacto standard. I'm trying to remember where, but I've ready several people noting that...

At the very least then, can we change the language from "strongly recommended" to "must" for "starts with "X-"?

Honestly, I'm concerned about cmake (or meson) needing to put information in an X-section, that seems like a great way to end up with cps files that only the build...

To be clear, my concern is that these don't become escape hatches from the purely descriptive format we have, and provide a way for meson to say "run this bit...
