10 Honestly not sure what convention is for naming, but I found this
11 recently, and thought I might throw it out there:
12
13 ~ $ euse -i lame
14 ....
15 [+ C ] lame - Prefer using LAME libraries for MP3 encoding support
16 ....
17
18 While, as a user, I prefer this to be mp3, I also understand there may
19 be more than one library for such-and-so, so I'm willing to read up on
20 USE flags to find out which is the best to use. Overall, I would prefer
21 naming according to the names of the libraries they'll enable.

27 from the beginning of the world until now — and never
28 to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut
29 short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the
30 elect those days will be shortened."
