I'm against this one in a "quick" EAPI, unless you can get a reference
implementation and extensive testing on possible use scenarios done in
time. I strongly suspect this will end up having the problems that
REQUIRED_USE had when it was shoved in at the last minute without
anyone having properly tried it out...
