Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the command-line parsing path in vscode-makefile-tools and compare its behavior with the two backquote examples; done means backquoted commands are run and their output is included in the invoking command line. Verify both compiler examples and relevant existing parsing tests if available.
