This concept is new to me as well, but after seeing the code with `cat
/usr/portage/sys-libs/glibc/glibc-2.17.ebuild` it didn't even take me
5 or 10 minutes to understand it.  I find the implementation safe
enough if used properly.  The core functions also seem stable, besides
some parts which aren't quoted, although commonly normal in ebuilds.
This is all about loading common functions to your ebuilds, and
there's nothing really dangerous in it.
