Hi, yes it should. It was brought up during the EAPI=3 planning cycle
and presented to the council for inclusion. It wasn't accepted in that
EAPI even though it is only a 3 line portage change (approx). So, it
will be duplicated in ebuilds and eclasses. Now, with this email I
fully expect a reply from /someone/ saying that "the Gentoo Prefix
implementation is just plain wrong" to which, I am going to silently
ignore.
