Oh, I think it's a pretty safe bet that *I* won't be kicked out of |

Gentoo. But since you like that kind of argument, why do you love |

The quoting is not the issue. |

21 |

22 |

26 |
|
27 |
And this is the kind of short sighted thinking that leads to |
28 |
maintenance nightmares later on. There are a lot of "I doubt"s and |
29 |
"shouldn't"s here that don't apply to other solutions. |

| Specially for you and your pink elephants: |
35 |
| E_IUSE=${E_IUSE// X } |
36 |
| E_IUSE=${E_IUSE#X } |
37 |
| E_IUSE=${E_IUSE% X} |
38 |
|
39 |
No go. Arbitrary whitespace is allowed. |

|
41 |
And now maybe you start to see why a *proper* solution is required. |

46 |
| E_IUSE was added in 2.0.50-r10 or r11 and was never changed. |
47 |
|
48 |
And the other E_ variables? Those have changed quite a bit. |

| You are great at comparisons - maybe you should be a poet like Homer? |

58 |
I don't expect people to have faith in me. I expect people to read what |
59 |
I say, think about it and then understand that I'm right. |
