Some updates to my suggestion:
- Files would optionally end with "-${EAPI}" suffix.
- The following files would be affected:
    package.mask
    package.unmask
    package.keywords
    package.accept_keywords
    package.use
    package.provided
    use.force
    use.mask
    use.unsatisfiable
    package.use.force
    package.use.mask
    package.use.unsatisfiable
    packages
    virtuals

(Some of these files aren't documented in PMS.)

I would like to suggest that this feature be included in EAPI="4".
I have a patch, which implements this feature in Portage.
