It needs to be. Specifically, additional inputs and outputs should
be reportable ahead of compilation and preferably this should be
relatively cheap. It needs to be ahead of compilation because inputs
themselves could be auto-generated. And I am not aware of any build
system that doesn't require dynamic outputs to be known before invoking
the tool (build2 certainly doesn't support this and likely never will).
