1 After years of "if use test ; then ..." just working when
2 FEATURES="test" is declared, it isn't working with EAPI5. I think we
3 could save some bytes and headaches if we just add "test" to
4 IUSE_IMPLICIT.

6 Portage's emerge's "--newuse" option won't be affected by this. From
7 `man emerge`:
8 > NOTE: This option ignores the state of the "test" USE flag, since
9 > that flag has a special binding to FEATURES="test" (see make.conf(5)
10 > for more information about FEATURES settings).
