11 Which is why I'm discouraging -@GROUPS for people who don't know what

15 | I'm already
16 | seeing lots of doubled-up use flags when I use the -v switch with

19 That's a 2.0.50 bug that doesn't exist in 2.0.51, and it's purely
20 cosmetic. The USE flags are being doubled up because they're specified
21 twice.
