Well yes, in ebuild we don't use the patch command directly. The wrapper is part of an "eclass" (a collection of bash utilities, we have several of these grouped by common tasks or functionality). The epatch wrapper can even use compressed patches (not very useful for sage). I am not sure a wrapper would be useful in sage but if it could save repeating code or errors it could be worth it.
