Problems that need to be solved: - If we want to keep support for both array and whitespace-separated list then we can't preset a global variable. - How do we distinguish between DOCS being unset (i.e. install default docs) and DOCS being empty (i.e. don't install anything)? - We could introduce some special syntax like a __default__ marker, but do we want such in-band signalling?
