Hm, how about adding a new PM command like "required_use foo -bar"? |

It would be used exclusively in pkg_pretend, and tell the PM to |

suggest the necessary package.use changes to the user (or even update |
| 11 |
them automatically with the appropriate --autounmask-* option). |

REQUIRED_USE could be banned at the same time. |
