I assume this is a hypothetical package; if this is something out of
your personal eapi/repo, please state so.

Actually, that was both the intent, and I thought explicitly
clear/documented; 'dep' would be a PM controlled namespace- as I'm
pretty sure I stated in the doc, else in that email thread on the
subject.
Thus, yep, you got me, you can't create a USE_EXPAND/USE_GROUP named
'dep'.
I very, very strongly doubt that anyone ever would come up with a
scenario where this is required, and the alternative name is somehow
worse. Please give examples.
Also, you should keep in mind that w/ what I ultimately want for
USE_EXPAND, we'd have a couple other namespace that couldn't be used
by ebuilds/profiles.
Top of the head,
* arch; kind of a given, alternate addressing of x86 via arch:x86.
Would be added purely for consistency, although iteration of the
potential values would warrant the group existing.
* use; same reasoning as arch, added for consistency so the consuming
code doesn't have to special case things.
* phase; intentionally reserved should we ever decide to do per phase
restrict control (aka, turning userpriv off just for the test phase).
* license; Now, this one I *am* spitballing a bit- I'm not proposing
it, just frankly thinking out loud. If we had a license namespace
there, we could potentially mask out certain deps if the user
requested say pure bsd, or as a potential way to properly integrate in
our existing bindist support; keep in mind if the group existed, we
could use it in REQUIRED_USE also.
Either way, you get the idea; it was explicit that in fixing
use_expand, a few namespaces would be offlimits.
> I vote for a separate syntax for types of dependencies.
A separate syntax, or keeping dep:build? from conflicting w/ someone
wanting to use USE_EXPAND="DEP" ?
If you've got other critiques state them, else, while your opinion is
yours, I doubt anyone is going to agree with you that it's a deal
breaker.
