The problem is, 'features' change between EAPIs. For example, all three
EAPIs have src_compile, but it does different things for all three. One
can't assume that a feature working for current EAPIs will carry on
working for future EAPIs, and even if it does there can be other
interactions that break.

An EXPORT_FUNCTIONS ignoring incorrect usage makes one less place
checking for eclass screwups...
