[gentoo-dev] [RFC] default_* functions

Hi,

	Currently we have default_* functions implemented in
	portage(paludis has these too)
	which allow the default implementation of a particular phase
	to be called. Another handy function in the default_* series is
	function 'default' which simply calls the default function for
	whatever phase you're in. The 'default' function patch is probably
	before you read this, and a release(2.2_rc7) will soon follow.

	Zac has said this release will have support for these functions in
	EAPI 2_pre2. Discuss!

So if you inherit an eclass that exports a function will default call 
the one from the eclass or the default in the PM?

default() calls functions from the package manager.
