Something like DEPEND="foo bar" is also valid bash, and yet we don't
allow that either because "foo bar" does not contain valid dependency
atoms. Also, keep in mind that we're not allowing people to "hang
themselves" with invalid EAPI assignments. We'll simply give them a
reasonable error message so that they can quickly and easily correct
their mistake.
