-## New kwarg `console` for `custom_target()`
-
-This keyword argument conflicts with `capture`, and is meant for
-commands that are resource-intensive and take a long time to
-finish. With the Ninja backend, setting this will add this target to
-[Ninja's `console`
-pool](https://ninja-build.org/manual.html#_the_literal_console_literal_pool),
-which has special properties such as not buffering stdout and
-serializing all targets in this pool.
-
-The primary use-case for this is to be able to run external commands
-that take a long time to exeute. Without setting this, the user does
-not receive any feedback about what the program is doing.
