Subject: [gentoo-portage-dev] [RFC] Guessing a package by short name

1 I think emerge should be able to do better with guessing what I mean by
2 "sudo". How about, if:
3
4 1) "ask" or "pretend" is on, and
5 2) exactly one package with a given short name is in world or is installed
6
7 it will print a message explaining the ambiguity, but will proceed with
8 the package from world. (1 means that the user has a chance to confirm the
9 choice before anything actually happens; 2 means portage has some guess as
10 to which is desired.)
