| 30 |
+rely upon them: |

+</p> |
| 32 |
+ |
| 33 |
+<ul> |
| 34 |
+ <li><c>__</c> (two underscores)</li> |
| 35 |
+ <li><c>abort</c></li> |
| 36 |
+ <li><c>dyn</c></li> |
| 37 |
+ <li><c>prep</c></li> |
| 38 |
+</ul> |
| 39 |
+ |
| 40 |
+<p> |
| 41 |
+The same applies to functions and variables that contain any of the following |
| 42 |
+strings (ignoring case): |
| 43 |
+</p> |
| 44 |
+ |
| 45 |
+<ul> |

| 47 |
+ <c>ebuild</c> (unless immediately preceded by another letter, and except |
| 48 |
+ for the <c>EBUILD_PHASE</c> and <c>EBUILD_PHASE_FUNC</c> variables) |
| 49 |
+ </li> |
