Just tell me the behavior you want and I can try to make it do that.

I had a mac for almost 2 years and never got the development environment
properly set up on it (I managed to glitch out the mac store to the point a mac
expert couldn't unglitch it, ala http://landley.net/notes-2017.html#28-02-2017),
then it was on a shelf untouched for half a year until

*shrug* I'd get a mac mini if mac still minid, but Apple is having the same "eat
your seed corn" problem with developers that Solaris did.

Back in the https://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/10/04/sun_to_unbundle_solaris/
time period when they stupidly kept canceling solaris86 becuase they didn't
realize that was all their cheap development systems, even though their devs
took out full page newspaper ads begging them not to. I vaguely recall they
cancelled solaris86 and brought it back _twice_ before the devs finally walked
on the third cancellation...

This is part of the reason I'm trying to get android developable on android, by
the way. This sort of thing is _important_...
