<note>
<para>
Internally, the <filename>BBCLASSEXTEND</filename>
mechanism generates recipe variants by rewriting
variable values and applying overrides such as
<filename>_class-native</filename>.
For example, to generate a native version of a recipe
named "foo", a
<link linkend='var-DEPENDS'><filename>DEPENDS</filename></link>
on "foo" is rewritten to a <filename>DEPENDS</filename>
on "foo-native".
</para>
<para>
No reparsing, which adds some limitations, of the
recipe is done for each variant.
For example, it is not possible to "include" a
different file depending on the variant, since
"include's" are processed when the recipe is parsed.
