The first version of `make vscode` relied on echo processing the `\n` escape sequence in single-quoted text. This happens in mac os and linux's default shell *sh* but not in MSYS2's default shell *bash* which requires a `-e` switch. This same switch is echoed unmodified by sh's version of `echo`, so it is not a viable solution. As a workaround, newlines are replaced by `>>>>` (a sequence that shouldn't appear in text) and then filtering through awk to reliably replace the sequence by a newline before redirecting to create the configuration file. To support users of the clangd LSP (for instance, vim users) a new target, `make clangd` was added. This target creates a `compile_flags.txt` file in the repository's root, with flags that setup clangd in a manner similar to vscode. This also requires newlines but here `tr` was used as a filter in place of `awk` because the input is a space-separated list and the only substitution necessary is space to newline
