Follow-up Comment #10, bug #60297 (project make):

That may indeed be useful to have .SECONDARY accept patterns.

Do you mean, that when .SECONDARY depends on a pattern the behavior is the
same as that of .NOTINTERMEDIATE (as proposed here)?
That would be quite surprising for users, would not it?

My look at this is the following
1. make provides explicit rules.
2. make provides .INTERMEDIATE to accompany explicit rules to let the user
mark a target of choice as intermediate, when it otherwise would be not
intermediate.
3. make provides pattern rules with implicit search.
4. make provides .NOTINTERMEDIATE to accompany implicit rules to let the user
mark a pattern of choice as not intermediate, when it otherwise would be
intermediate.
