"grep -ir thor ." in /etc/portage has no hits.  In addition "grep -ir  
ruby ." in /etc/portage shows only package.accept_keyword entries and  
RUBY_TARGETS="ruby31" in make.conf.

I don't see how this is any different from putting it in package.use,  
but it has the same lack of effect.

Can anyone explain (or point me the the fine manual page I missed) the  
exact meaning of (-ruby31) in

!!! The ebuild selected to satisfy "dev-ruby/thor" has unmet  
requirements.
- dev-ruby/thor-1.2.1::gentoo USE="-doc -test" ABI_X86="(64)"  
RUBY_TARGETS="-ruby27 (-ruby30) (-ruby31)"

and why is ruby27 not in parens, but the other two are?  Is that just  
the assumption that ruby31 is off in any ebuild which does not  
explicitly mention it, or does it reflect an explicit turning off of  
that flag?
