Rich, interesting thoughts! But yeah, I agree that for now that is a lot. |

My idea for the "#!" thing was much smaller-scale and is a way to add simple |
| 10 |
syntax to allow declaration of the EAPI in the file with no sourcing and no |
| 11 |
filename extension mangling (plus, no pre-source/post-source issues): |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Just have one "shebang-like" line in the header before any real bash code |
| 14 |
("#!EAPI=3", "#EAPI=3", or whatever is agreed-upon). This is out-of-band meta |
| 15 |
info, so it's OK that it's in a "comment". It's ignored by bash, but it can be |
| 16 |
read trivially without sourcing. To accelerate things for the tree (I've seen |
| 17 |
others mention this idea too), store the EAPI in the portage cache when it is |
| 18 |
generated. |
