11 'in_iuse' or 'iuse_contains'?
12
13 if $(in_iuse foobar); do
14 $(cake)
15 fi
16
17 or
18
19 if $(iuse_contains foobar); do
20 $(cake)
21 fi
22
23 Thinking from just a general pronunciation perspective, though. Assuming
24 someone reads that as "If in eye-use..." or "If eye-use contains ...".
25
26 'has_iuse' Almost reads as "has issues ...", hence, "if has issues; then
27 ($cake) && $(grief_counseling) ...".
