When we last talked about this, we decided that there was no
point in
making targets explicitly internal (using "-")
since developers may want
to use them in some cases. We decided however that we
shouldn't write
descriptions for them so that they don't confuse new users,
and instead
we could write comments for those that would possibly use
them.
The fact that there is "internal-target" written
everywhere is indeed
sligthly redundant but it doesn't do any harm and besides it
indicates
that the comment was purposefully not written as a
description.
