Bikeshed.  There is already a 'universe' target that does everything
Alfred wants except exit 1 on error.  At least one working patch was put
forward (by bz@) to make it do that, and phk@ agreed that it was a
sensible thing to do.  There is no need for a new target, and if there
were, calling it tinderwhatever would be misleading at best.

No, it wouldn't.

This is a non-issue; "continue moving on" is how 'make universe' has
always worked, and I added 'blah target failed' a week ago.
