<h3><code>:lax</code> functionality</h3>
<p>The current <code>:lax</code> functionality is too lax and will apply lax rules to all sub-elements being expanded. For example, if <code>$[oni:lax]</code> is being expanded, and <code>oni</code> is defined to be <code>blah $[foo]</code>, then currently <code>foo</code> does not need to be defined and will have a “lax” expansion performed even though it isn’t explicitly labeled with a <code>:lax</code> suffix. This should be fixed so that <code>:lax</code> suffixes only apply to the specific variable labeled with such suffix, rather than having it apply recursively to all sub-expansions.</p>
<h3>substring support</h3>
<p>It would be good to add Python-style substring support, so recipes can do things like:</p>
<pre>
[when target/subarch:0:1 is ~]
</pre>
