+# NOTE (Implementation Tactics)
+#
+#   The for-argument contains a list of options. The first part of
+#   these does only exist to detect the compiler - usually it is
+#   a global option to enable -ansi or -extrawarnings. All other
+#   compilers will fail about it. That was needed since a lot of
+#   compilers will give false positives for some option-syntax
+#   like -Woption or -Xoption as they think of it is a pass-through
+#   to later compile stages or something. The "%" is used as a
+#   delimiter. A non-option comment can be given after "%%" marks
+#   which will be shown but not added to the respective C/CXXFLAGS.
