Thanks, but I don't have a bug to solve here. Just the feature request.

Yes, but then I have to manually, one at a time search eix and compare to
the output of 'emerge world'. I use eix. That's actually why I suspect that
the feature could be implemented fairly easily. Portage has all the info it
needs.

Nor does just blindly closing it without really comprehending what the
request is for.

Actually, I'll just concede defeat. :(
Obviously the maintainer has either a closed mind and is unwilling to
consider my request, or he just doesn't "get it" and wants to lump two
disjointed bugs together.
I get the feeling that even after all the work to get it into an "official"
bug/request. I'll either be greeted with "learn python and code it yourself
as a patch", or it will sit there forever amongst the thousands of other
bugs...
Mostly by posting here, I just wanted to know if I was missing something
obvious and being a retard or if the maintainer was... *sigh* ...also that
maybe someone else would say, "oh yeah, I like that idea" and perhaps could
articulate it better than I...
