Description

Right now remake --tasks lists doc comments for all targets. But suppose I just want the comment for a single target.

It would be nice if I could put the target name after --tasks. For example:

make --tasks check

Research direction

Start by tracing the command-line handling for remake --tasks and how the following target is selected. Verify the existing all-target listing behavior, then make remake --tasks check show only the check target's doc comment while preserving the current behavior when no target is supplied.
