1 What's the likelyhood of introducting an "experiemental" or misc use
2 variable? For example, say a program has some sort of experimental feature
3 or something off the wall, but doesn't quite fall into any of the use
4 categorys. Rather than create a whole slew of new use vars, you already
5 have one which can comprehend this. This should be an "opt-in" feature,
6 meaning the user would specifically have to pass USE="experimental" at
7 compile time.
