+#   Tests for a bug causing Boost Build's scanner targets to be rebuilt.
+# unnecessarily in the following scenario:
+#  * We want to build target X requiring target A.
+#  * We have a multi-file action generating targets A & B.
+#  * Out action generates target B with a more recent timestamp than target A.
+#  * Target A includes target B.
+#  * Target A has a registered include scanner.
+# Now even if our targets A & B have already been built and are up-to-date
+# (e.g. in a state left by a previous successful build run), our scanner target
+# tasked with scanning target A will be marked for updating, thus causing any
+# targets depending on it to be updated/rebuilt as well.
