   * <p>The term "output" is somewhat hazily defined; it is vaguely the set of files that are
   * passed on to dependent rules that list the rule in their {@code srcs} attribute and the
   * set of files that are built when a rule is mentioned on the command line. It does
   * <b>not</b> include the runfiles; that is the bailiwick of {@code FilesToRunProvider}.
   *
   * <p>Note that the above definition is somewhat imprecise; in particular, when a rule is
   * mentioned on the command line, some other files are also built
   * {@code TopLevelArtifactHelper} and dependent rules are free to filter this set of artifacts
   * e.g. based on their extension.
   *
   * <p>Also, some rules may generate artifacts that are not listed here by way of defining other
   * implicit targets, for example, deploy jars.
