However, I'm not sure that this function is sufficiently generic to be

added as a built-in function.  Can you provide use-cases for it?

I suppose that depends on the definition of "sufficiently generic".  The two definitions that come to mind:

1. Useful for many people who do build maintenance
   
2. Useful for people trying to improve performance on large builds or on makefile "libraries" (eg gmsl or libmakefile)
   

Wouldn't profiling information help? 

See details and link to code with 3.81 that does this at:
