Support “subdirectory/recipe” notation in recipe dependencies

[eigengrau]

I notice that, inside a Just recipe, it is possible to explicitly delegate to recipes declared in sub- or super-directory Justfiles, by invoking Just recursively, as in:

foo:
    @just subdir/bar
    @just ../quux

While this feature may have been intended more for interactive use (since in Justfiles one may just as well type @just --justfile subdir/Justfile bar (…or maybe introduce --justdir to make it less clumsy), this made me wonder whether it would make sense to support this “short-cut” notation as part of a recipe’s dependencies, so that one could write:

foo: subdir/bar ../quux

(I guess if dependencies of type file – à la Make – ever become a thing this notation may prove confusing, though, or one may prefer a different symbol over the slash)

Thanks for building Just!

I think this is mostly covered by #383, since I think it would be done best as some kind of module system.

You are most welcome!

Thanks for the pointer. The headline sounds enticing, I’ll check it out.
