    \title Artifact Item
    \brief Describes a file produced by a \c Rule.

    An \c Artifact represents a single file produced by a \l{Rule Item}{Rule}.

    For example, if a rule produces three files, it needs to contain three Artifact items.

    \section1 Artifact Properties

    \note The code on the right-hand side of these properties has access to the set of input
    artifacts, that is, it can refer to the \c inputs map and, if the rule is not a multiplex rule,
    the \c input variable.

        \li Setting this to \c false means the file is not necessarily always written to by any
            command run by the rule. The timestamps of such artifacts are therefore not checked to
            find out whether they are up to date. Consequently, if all artifacts of a rule have this
            property set to \c false, the commands of the rule are always executed.
