It means append and prepend only work if they're the last part of the
variable name.

e.g. XXX_append = "YYY"

so XXX_append_ZZZ = "YYY" won't do anything

of course if ZZZ is an override, it will be peeled off but the append
only happens after its been overridden and it becomes XXX_append

Cheers,
