7 Tend to agree, though one place I could see it being hypothetically
8 useful is if we need to set a use-dep. That is, package bar might
9 have a dep on dev-lib/libfoo[-ssp] (or nossp or whatever).

11 However, what I don't know is whether that will be helpful. If it is,
12 then it might make sense to make an exception, otherwise I agree that
13 overloading CFLAGS in USE flags is bad.
