Why only "similarly to EAPI 4" and not identical with it? The latter
would follow the principle of least surprise.

Taken from _eapi4_src_install() in phase-helpers.sh:

    if ! declare -p DOCS &>/dev/null ; then
        local d
        for d in README* ChangeLog AUTHORS NEWS TODO CHANGES \
            THANKS BUGS FAQ CREDITS CHANGELOG ; do
            [[ -s "${d}" ]] && dodoc "${d}"
        done
    elif [[ $(declare -p DOCS) == "declare -a "* ]] ; then
        dodoc "${DOCS[@]}"
    else
        dodoc ${DOCS}
    fi
