How do I tell colcon to tell cmake to tell make --jobs?

Here's something that saturates all 12 of my available cores:

colcon build --parallel-workers=3

How do I tell colcon build to use at most three cores at any given time?

Colcon doesn't do that. Or, rather, it does, but only in ways that sacrifice one of the two "independent dimensions of parallelization".

Here's the first way:

MAKEFLAGS=-j1 colcon build --parallel-workers=3

Here's the second way:

MAKEFLAGS=-j3 colcon build --executor sequential

The thread #q368249 explains colcon's parallelization.
