I just wanted to further emphasize _why_ this will never be
supported: we want all our product files (aka object files)
to end up in the object directory ("obj"), and using source
files with path prefixes doesn't work well with suffix
transformation rules like .c.o, as make(1) only changes the
file suffix in that case.

(I know you've already learned how to use .PATH: properly.)
