Proposal of accepting arguments to `default` in src_install (and more?) phases in EAPI=5 (for the next council meeting?)

Example,
- Package is using autotools.
- The default phase like below works for the package:
src_install() {
emake DESTDIR="${D}" install
dodoc README
}
So when writing a new ebuild you would only add:
DOCS="README"
And be done with it. Then the next version of the package needs extra
argument passed to emake install, for example:
src_install() {
emake DESTDIR="${D}" init_d_path="/usr/share/doc/${PF}/examples" install
dodoc README
}
So you are /forced/ to write entire src_install() while you only want to
append one argument to emake install.
The current workaround for this is to use EXTRA_EMAKE from ebuild, but I
find this rather ugly (if not even forbidden by some PMS magic?)
Can we make econf in src_configure, emake in src_compile, and emake
install in src_install accept arguments "$@" in EAPI=5, please?
Relavent bug is http://bugs.gentoo.org/364343
