+## Support of indexed `@PLAINNAME@` and `@BASENAME@`
+
+In `custom_target()` and `configure_file()` with multiple inputs,
+it is now possible to specify index for `@PLAINNAME@` and `@BASENAME@`
+macros in `output`:
+```
+custom_target('target_name',
+  output: '@PLAINNAME0@.dl',
+  input: [dep1, dep2],
+  command: cmd)
+```

problem_statement: rfe: please add @PLAINNAME0@
I have a custom_target that depends on
a few other custom_targets. When I use
`@PAINNAME@`, I get this:
```
src/meson.build:88:7: ERROR: custom_target: output cannot contain "@PLAINNAME@"
or "@BASENAME@" when there is more than one input (we can't know which to use)
```

Ok but `@PLAINNAME0@` is unsupported, and
`custom_tgt` seems to have no `name()` member
for a manual extraction.

Please add `@PLAINNAME0@` or `name()` member
for `custom_tgt`, or, preferably, both of them. :)
