Such thing sort of solve the problem with multi-line keywords, but might complicate matters which do not justify the cosmetic advantage? Having prefix as tag in a keyword isn't such a bad idea, perhaps, since one should really see them as separate from non-prefixed in certain cases. So far we just solved problems via the profiles or newly introduced prefix? conditionals. -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level
