Oops I worded it badly! I meant take some theory from Make and modify it to be more ergonomic before adding it into Piper. A la rethinking it all with new knowledge I gain.

If you haven't already, I'd seriously suggest having a look at redo (the theory but also apenwarr's implementation at https://github.com/apenwarr/redo).

It's not going in the same direction you are exactly but building a mental model of it in my head was salutary in terms of thinking through the purpose and implementation of build tools and hopefully it'll be similarly useful to you.
