[bug #30328] Fast echo (with code proposal)

[Timothy N Murphy]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #30328 (project make):

I'd like to add one point about this feature being extremely useful from a
performance point of view.

I certainly have come across large makefiles where $(shell) for appending to
a file is like crask - you desperately need to do it but it has a terrible
effect on makefile parse time.

What I'd acutally like is a way to write functions as a loadable plugin so
that we wouldn't have to ask for a GNU make feature every time we needed to do
something special like this.
